Professional trivia

In Korea, a check mark on an answer means that the answer is wrong. Circling an answer means that the answer is correct.

I must have REALLY confused some kids with that.

I remember being confused over this when I first came to US. Growing up in Korean, I now vaguely remember, since it's been a long time, that a check mark meant it needs to be corrected or something like that. So, i used to circle my answers instead of check marks here in US just to make sure...

Mark(your korean friend from yale) told me about this blog. thanks for the interesting stories. have fun!
