A fact from Koreans in Vietnam appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the
Did you know column on 2 April 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:
|
The following sentence is not precise: "In September 2006, South Korean conglomerate Kumho Engineering and Construction broke ground at Asiana Plaza, a 32-story complex which, when completed, is expected to be Vietnam's largest building at least until 2010"
i really doubt you know of all the building projects in vietnam. are you really sure that from the korean-built house is finished, until the skyscraper in hanoi is finished in 2010, there will not be built any other houses that are higher than the korean-built one? i don't think so. if you are, list the source. the statement is therefore an assumption, and an encyclopedia should not list such assumptions as facts. i suggest you revert the article to the way it was originally after the info about the skyscraper in hanoi was added.

The following deserves mentioning in the main article. I am unable to provide the source of refererence, as I've lost contact to the friend who gave the text to me a few years back. Apparently, it was translated from Vietnamese, published in a weekly journal.

Like most ethnic group, Korean doesn't have a plural in English dictionary. In Merriam Webster, Korean, is defined as native of Korea. There's no entry of Koreans. Likewise, there's no plural of Indian(s), Chinese (Chineses) Japanese(Japaneses) Vietnamese(s) etc. Therefore, to move Koreans in Vietnam to Korean in Vietnam, which is more grammatically safe and ethnically acceptable, shouldn't cost much or hurt anybody's feeling, I hope.

There is no plural entry for "airplane" in the dictionary either. That does not mean that "airplanes" is grammatically incorrect. In English, "Korean" can refer to both the language of Korea and a singular person of Korean descent, and is thus somewhat ambiguous. "Koreans" however can only mean those from Korean descent. In the case of Chinese and Japanese, the morpheme "s" is not added and instead we say "the Chinese" or "the Japanese" to indicate plural. ( 75.65.220.204 ( talk) 21:59, 1 September 2013 (UTC))
