《한국어식 영어》
I Hate Engrish, it's so ridiculous.
But I love native languige (Korean for me).
If we are not in the case that we need to use English
or we can not substitute the word to proper Korean,
we should use our pure Korean instead of Konglish words definately.
English is just a common tool as globalization.
Konglish does not help globalizing to us.
Anyway we have better correct our shortcoming like this.
In our society, Konglish is one of the Worst Custom.
