one of the first closed threads at tl.net. Back in the days were Nazgul asked forum members: "should I close this topic? I'm new to forum moderation" some things change, some never do, lol..
Who is Mensrea, the first the time question was asked, closed after a Broodwar.com troll was censored.

Korean Korner
+ Show Spoiler [Inevitable Disclaimer] +
I'm not Korean. I have no Korean blood. I cannot speak Korean fluently. In fact I've only been in Korea for 3 months. So don't go apeshit if I use a ㅔ instead of ㅐ or I offend anyone's acute nationalistic feelings. Rest assured though that I will not teach anything without being 100% that it's right.
Note on Romanization:
(Romanization is where the Korean is phonetically translated into English)
I hate Romanization and I strongly suggest any serious learners of Korean not to use it. It's just for the newbies. The problem with it is that different English speakers will pronounce the syllables differently and on an international forum like this, it's impossible for me to be accurate with it. There are different variations of Romanization and below I do my own version.
A good site to learn the alphabet is here:

Practical Korean 3: You're cute
Continuing on from last week's theme...
If you want to compliment a girl... then actually you can use many of the usual (basic) English words. As all Korean girls will understand words like cute, sexy, pretty etc.
But! You want to impress! And your attempts at Korean always make her giggle in that awesome way. So, here's "You are cute/pretty":
You don't know their name
당신 귀여워요 (dang-shin ki-yoh-wo-yo)
Their name is XX
XX 귀여워요 (XX ki-yoh-wo-yo)
You are close/being cheeky
너 귀여워 (naw-ki-yoh-wo)
+ Show Spoiler [Details for the keen] +
당신 = quite formal and polite 'You'
너 = very informal 'You'
귀여워 = present tense form of verb 'to be cute' 귀엽다
요 = polite ending
No Random Bollocks this time
Sorry - too busy. Christmas and all that. :[

the heroes are like reg units but recquire like 7 times more micro, and upkeep just makes macro harder
