Point #2

please stay out of the Corea vs. Korea argument.

Yes, I realize that all nationalist historians in Korea make many outrageous claims suggesting that old Chosen actually called themselves Corea for a long time, a name they were labeled with by both the U.S. and Japan, two of the biggest Imperialist countries during the turn of the 20th century and it only serves to further prove how Coreans or Koreans or Chosen peeps can be blindly nationalistic.

My question is, why do you care?

Aside from your 'objective' view on the whole matter, does it really give you a wedgie to hear such claims? Tampering with history, I can understand you'd be peeved, but a country with a history of oppressive domination will want to assert themselves. They could probably do better with the rationale. I can't say it's exactly like the difference between calling it 'the Phillipines' and 'the Filipines' but there's a general...related point - they're still throwing off the last remnants of colonization. Do you really get to say STFU?
