I'm sure those crooks over at zamboni are perfectly happy with the "problem" of using their brand name as a generic descriptor the other 99.9999 percent of the time. THIS IS THE HOUSE YOU'VE BUILT, ZAMBONI. LIVE IN IT.

Now I know how much it upsets the Zamboni company, I’m going to use that word to describe just everything in life. My dogs name is now Zamboni.

It didn’t work for you, Adobe, and it ain’t gonna work for these Zambonis either.

This is true, Korean does have lots of circles. I don't know why but I've been there and yeah mad circle energy in Hangul

TRAP SPRUNG

Hangul, the Korean script, is actually an alphabet like Latin script, not a syllabery like katagana or a logographic script like Kanji or Chinese.

But it's written in a very different way

Gonna take the illustration from wikipedia to show how it works:



The ㅇ symbol, ng, is a consonent that is silent at the beginnig of words, but makes the ng sound in the middle or at the end. Now, if you have ever heard Korean spoken, think about how many time the ng sound comes up, like in this fellow:



(original tweet seems to have been deleted :(: )

which literally has in it's first syllable, ㅇ as a silent, ㅕ(or yeo) as the vowel, and then ㅇ again as the second consonent. It's ng and another well used consonent ㅎ(which is a h or t sound depending on where in the word it is) that give Korean a look of being very circle-y as a language.

Once you know how korean works, it's actually relatively easy to learn, especially compared to Kanji or Chinese characters.


Fun fact on ㅕ. It represents another unique feature of Korean. It's actually a modified version ofㅓ(eo) that adds the y sounds to the beginning. Korean has several symbols that are modified versions of other letters, adding a standard modification that tells you how the letter is changing.

So the 21 vowel sounds in korean



are actually pretty easy to remember when you realize they all come from like 6 basic symbols. The sort of featural writing is a hallmark of Korean and isn't found in any other alphabet.

not that I'm defending them, but it might interest you to know that allowing their company name to become a generic term for ice resurfacing machines, the way Kleenex is for facial tissue, weakens their trademark legally and makes it harder for them to sue people for making knockoff ice resurfacers and selling them as Zambonis

I remember picking up a magazine aimed at writers several years ago and half the ads were from companies like Xerox, Kleenex, Jockeys, etc begging people to respect their trademarks.
