@eris Most Korean first names have two morphemes and (when Anglicized into Roman letters) are hyphen-separated: Hwa-Young, Dae-hyun, etc). I've seen the second element variably as lower or upper case, though I notice that Wikipedia uses the lower-case style so there may be a custom there.

@fidgety I love this.
Just sharing this glorious webcomic because it's about 75 times better than how I had remembered it.
Also, a reminder: Wolverine is ridiculous.
He/him. I teach academic Hebrew-Bible studies in grad school, and like Korean martial arts & interactive fiction.
