Do you expect a person who trains in one style to know the exect spellings from another style? I think if it sounds right it should be marked right - especially as this was a "from memory" quiz. Also - don't forget, the correct spelling of an oriental word is a set of Kanji - not a word written in our alphabet. There are quite often several acceptable spellings e.g Kung Fu / Gung Fu.

ALL answering is now closed. Heres a question: Should I go for EXACT word or try to give typos the right answer? Like dolly/dollyo(right) and sabumnin(right)/sa buh nim.

 

I would like some opinions on this issue.

 

 

 

Close is good enough for the Korean language. Some books spell a word that reflects how it is pronounced. Too many dialects are present in that part of the globe.

[SBN Doug]

I agree. As long as it's close phonetically.
