Koreans from areas besides LA or NYC tend to speak with a sort of hyper-corrected English accent. (Think Eddy Murphy making fun of "whitey" to get an idea of what I mean.)

I do not find this phenomenon as much with kyopos from the Midwest, South, Pacific Northwest, New England, or any of the other "red" states in the interior.

However, I think perhaps you guys might have misunderstood me. I mean, I am assuming that your parents or uncles were not born in the US or went through elementary, middle and high school here in the US either? If not, then of course it is understandable that their conversational English, while very proficient, will not be impeccable or with a slight accent. Also, everyone makes typos and careless errors so I don't think for a moment that just because of that you would not be proficient in conversational English which is different from written English. What I am talking about are kyopos who were born and raised here and having been educated only in the American school system since birth. Yet, these same people speak with a weird accent that sounds vaguely "konglish" mixed in with what seems to be sort of an ebonics-based accent with articles missing in conversation. Have you experienced this? What I am talking about abcdefg and bumfromkorea,

Upon closer looks, I have seen writings of this quality from your average American high schooler (having edited 5 of their writings while watching the Superbowl) with similar expressions. (Before you ask, I coach speech and debate, and this particular speech event can have expressions similar to the ones in the letter) Assuming 'gyopoship' is a bit hasty. (Can I get a TM on that?) In other news... Giants win an upset victory over New England. It was an EXTREMELY boring game until the last 5 game minutes.
