Re: [idn] Question for the Kanji & Hanja cognosentee

I forgot to put the following comment:

  In Korea, unlike Japan, 
    verbal & written communication  hardly use TC-form korean words.
   Korean people use the TC-forms of their company names or personal names
   only when they communicate to Japanese or chinese partners.
