In My Case
By Dan
I've noticed that a lot of the Korean English teachers here use 'in my case' very frequently. It's their 'personally' statement and it always sounds a little strange but they learned English through a very grammatically-focused cirriculum. Not like us at all. I learned all my English grammar when I took high school Spanish.
Did you also know that the Korean word for 'foreigners' is "Wae-gook?" You probably did. It's probably where the derisive gook slur came from - the word can sound like "we gook" sometimes so I imagine that a whole bunch of stupid twats (probably during the Korean War) got called waegook a lot but thought the Koreans were calling themselves gooks. Blech.
