I remember that a year or two ago a member of our list posted an interesting fact that the McCune-Reischauer Romanization system was actually created by a few Korean scholars. But the two Western scholars' names were used to provide "legitimacy" for the system. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Unfortunately
