Article talks about a 'dirty' Korean language book being sold on Amazon and how Korean netizens have mixed feelings over their language being taught this way.
1. [+1,705, -45] Wow, I really want to see the face of the guy who thought it was appropriate to release this
2. [+1,405, -34] My face is red with embarrassment... what is this...
3. [+1,366, -34] The guy who made this and the company that published it are both trash
4. [+29, -2] The book isn't saying the Korean language is dirty, it's just a book about Korean slang
5. [+21, -2] It's not saying Korean is dirty... but I do think that people who use slang like this have dirty mouths
6. [+16, -1] But were examples like that necessary?
7. [+13, -0] This is nothing to be concerned over... ã…¡.ã…¡ It's not a book used in formal settings, just a fun book on slang. We have books on English slang too.. and I even saw some Japanese slang books as well.
8. [+13, -3] Every language has books like this
9. [+12, -2] I have no problem with this, and I'm actually surprised that Korean has become a language popular enough for slang books to be made out of. It means that Korean is that much more known.
10. [+9, -3] I think the government should do something about this, at least a lawsuit or something. We should be spreading how scientific our language is, not bring its image down with books like this.
