          The name of the sea between them is causing turmoil in the SK society, because everyone else is calling it “Sea of Japan”.

          that and the fact that the Japanese are absolute dicks about the SK women they enslaved for sex some 70 years ago

            Everybody else has been calling it “Sea of Japan” for a really ling time by now.

            AFAIK, seas normally take the name of the land that is closing them, and gulfs take the name of the land that is around them.

            Now, about their constant Empire apology, yeah, Koreans are in their right to be really pissed of. The entire world should be.

                Just remember that every time you see the sun flag in an anime, that it’s the symbol of a government that the fucking Nazis wrote home scared about their monstrosity and disrespect for the lives of other people.

        Thanks for the context, from an American who tries not to read the news because my doctor reccomended that as an alternative to suicide. This whole place is fucked.

      Is that why everyone around me sounds like they’re speaking some language I can’t understand? I thought it was just really heavy accents.

        I mean, depending on where exactly you ended up, it could go either way. I’ve watched some British TV over the years and I frequently need subtitles and I assume the actors are enunciating better than the average person.

          Thankfully, because of my British family, I am very good with most British accents. That said, the guy who delivered our groceries had an incredibly thick Lancashire accent and a stutter and I got a few phrases here and there. I got the important ones like ‘did you get my message’ and ‘no substitutions’ but he said something about going to Preston (nearby) which was just unintelligible, so I just nodded and said, “okay.”

        Why is Northern Ireland the South of The Republic Of Ireland? Did something happen? Sorry I’m not well versed in this region.

        Also, what is the country bordering the EU and The Republic of Ireland? Is it Yougotoslovakia? I have family there I think.
