Arrogance.

For a second, I...never mind.

Wait...wha?

I swear, I hate kanji.
-
They actually try not to, since kanji can have more then one meaning (if you're talking about Japan).

The prounciation of mountain in Japanese and Korean are exactly the same.

Causa? EGO tantum agnosco aliquantulus.

Had an ongoing argument.

A bit here, a bit there.

I tend not to trust what China says. Of course, that's just me. :V And when the oceans were solid = the Ice Age. It's also when man spread to the Americas, so probably they spread to Japan then as well. Matched. And 10000 is man, not ichiman. In both Korean and Japanese. 3: sam 4: sa 6: yeoseos (fine, this one's different) 9. gu (I'm stretchin, but similiar to kyu) 1000: chun (again, different).

I'm pretty sure Japan was inhabited when the oceans were solid, and when man was spreading from Africa. Of course, Korea was inhabited by similar people to the Chinese, since Korea's directly connected. When China tried to invade Japan, they failed. Twice. Consider that.

I learned Latin, so I can speak stuff in Latin to people, and they just cock their head at a precarious angle, and are like "Wha?"

World in Korean is 세계. I'm stretching a bit, but that's pretty close. I mean, come on. Korea was freaking occupated by Japan. How many interactions have Japan had with China besides wars? 3?

I always forgot the vital things and remember the trivial things. :V

Two of the examples I've beaten to death: Newspaper (Shin-moon VS. Shin-boon) Tea (Cha VS. O-cha) And don't forgot probably the hundreds of English loan-words, like chocolate, elevator, and television.

I know, right? I tend not to eat for days at a time.

English is a complete melting pot from pretty much every single language in the world, but mainly Greek, Latin, and surprisingly some Arabic.
-
This has never been developed further, sadly.

Although Korean characters are completely different from the Japanese characters, the pronunciations are closer. Some ancient history: Koreans tend to have grudges against the Chinese and Japanese race (though most of us don't as much, this mainly applies to the older generations). More ancient history: Korea and Japan shares more in common then Japan does with China.

I always have the fan on when sleeping. Doesn't matter what the season is.
