I'm going to have to pass over duties to someone else. Not got the time to dig around for questions or pop into here at the mo.

i'll have another go:

why did Corea become Korea?
(straight question about the spelling of the place)

Posted: **Wed Sep 27, 2006 1:38 pm**

I'll guess after WWII. 1945/6.

DOH DOH DOH.

Something to do with the C being pronounced as an "s"?

Posted: **Wed Sep 27, 2006 5:06 pm**

good guess but no. it is about properties of the C vs the K

Hmmm

I was thinking maybe something to do with the short code CO being taken by some other country, but I guess that's too far off the mark as well.

The "properties of the K v C"

Hmmmm

* scratches chin *

EDIT: Also, North Korea and South Korea both use the K.....

* re-scratches chin *

EDIT2: Ah but if it happened before WWII they hadn't split apart by then

* unscratches chin*

not short codes, it is also about imperialism.

edit: no to your edits too

you want another clue?

okay Japan changed the spelling when C/Korea was colonised

Posted: **Thu Sep 28, 2006 2:27 pm**

A 'K' can often be 'silent'??

Posted: **Thu Sep 28, 2006 3:10 pm**

nope it is staring you in the face; why would the K be favourable over the C to japanes colonists?

Kamikazi?
