(There is more than one war currently underway--Yemeni civil war, Afghanistan--still not at peace, etc. etc.) As Europe IS as large (population and wealth) as the U.S. let them get involved as that would be more appropriate.

I just made that up to introduce the Chinese characters 乒乓 (핑퐁), which is the way the Chinese refer to the game "ping-pong" or "table tennis." Koreans use the word 탁구 (卓球) more than 핑퐁 (乒乓), but they don't seem use the Chinese characters with 핑퐁, suggesting that the Korean word 핑퐁 is referring to English pronunciation of the game, not the Chinese.Gerry Bevershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311939520870098017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9424060.post-17303781014974884402021-11-20T04:58:30.754-06:002021-11-20T04:58:30.754-06:00Never heard of this expression before, it's ve...Never heard of this expression before, it's very interesting!:) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08434848039605060899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9424060.post-70895410485352853682021-10-01T19:37:03.920-05:002021-10-01T19:37:03.920-05:00That was very helpful.
