Did you know if someone says "Korea' you are not being specific?
Thought about that in chat so may as well start a new gd series "Loke's Did you know?"

Young student, "Korea" consists of two countries, North and South Korea. So if I just say to you Korea, you do not know which one I am referring to.Quote:Originally Posted by MetalGreek

Well, obviously.
Saying "UK" isn't specific. Saying "America" isn't specific. Saying "Africa" isn't specific. Saying "bad weather" isn't specific. Saying "a few" isn't specific. You get the idea.Posted 09-17-2011 at 02:38 AM by Slenderman - Doctor

Technically saying africa Could be specific if you are speaking of the continent.
Also Technically speaking Korea could refer to the landmass and area itself, and not so much the countries located in such an area.
For example:
"Japan took over Korea during WW2"
Just nitpicking is all.. don't mind me.

You forgot to mention that both North Korea and South Korea are not just Asian Countries but East Asian countries. You need to be specific in case someone mistakes them for West Asian Countries. And actually there is only ONE Country called Korea but it’s divided into two states North and South Korea. AND South Korea is officially known as the Republic of Korea and North Korea is the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Got to be specific on the Republics. And we need to be specific about what part of Korea, don’t want to mistake Northern North Korea for Northern South Korea because they are both quite different.
