Its friggen' brilliant. Koreans learning English from starcraft. If only there was a popular Korean game I could play to learn Korean. :-) Way to capitalize on a franchise.

In my days cartoons whernt dubbed yet, they where subtitled. Add my dyslexia and the fact that i wasnt wearing glasses while i should have in the mix, and you've got a six year old learning english from cartoons, freakishly fast.

In the playground when we where playing turtles or rangers, we'd be yelling their catchphrases in english.

Kids still do this, actually. It was kind of disturbing to see my eight year old neice yell "DIE DIE DIE!" when she was playing smash against me.

"<_<" is highly open to interpetation. It could also mean that he is emberassed to share this information with the internet.

Or it could mean you've read to much into a simple statement of fact.

If it must be written then fine. I do not play the Dora games.

Conversations about playing Dora games are slightly off-topic, don't you think so?
