Konglish

Ok, i'm not a very good korean speaker. But when i write konglish people tend to correct me.

dongg is then ddong.

Is that right? Can there be an actual spelling for a word not in its own language? no right? so how can people correct me?

erf.

when u spell ddong in korean...theres the double letter..so people would use a double d for that sound..hence ddong..or bbang [bread] with only one b on bbang..it will turn into bang which means room..

and .. like everything else..konglish moves around da net pretty fast..sOo..its likely dat whoever your talking to will knoe da "correct" way of spelling dat korean werd in english..

well you ARE right.. there is no right or wrong spelling if the word is not an english word..
like i could write HYORI.. "hyori" or "hyolee"

but it doesnt apply everywhere.
like in japanese.. theres a CERTAIN way you write romanized words..
