Seoul to Offer Cash Rewards to Anyone that Finds Spelling Mistakes on Public Signs

Here is an interesting idea to combat misspellings in Seoul:

The Seoul city government is offering rewards to the first 100 people who report errors they find in English, Chinese or Japanese on public signs in the city, especially those at tourist sites, through June 15.    
   
“Anyone in Seoul can participate by reporting an error that they see in foreign language usage on information boards at tourist sites,” said the city government in its statement on Sunday. “The project is open through June 15, and individuals can participate up to five times .”  
   
When the city government receives a report about incorrect foreign language usage on these signs that is confirmed to be erroneous, it will reward the person with 10,000 won ($8.90) in mobile cash that can be used at member stores of Zero Pay, a special mobile payment service integrated in commercial banking and payment apps.

This could be a cash cow if that includes English written on signs…

But that’s why there’s a limit to five entries per person. You could hit that in five seconds before exiting Seoul Station.

Stay on topic.

We are talking about spelling mistakes, not your mom.

And CH, yet again, proves what an utterly crappy person he is.

They say correlation does not equal causation…

…but maybe that explains the lack of necrophiles around Seoul Station.

I genuinely wonder what kind of twisted mind is proud of being such a troll as CH is.

Calling me a Troll is like calling the FBI a troll when they report crime statistics you don’t like.

Whatever the case, I can’t see myself dwelling on the negative opinion of me held by a pedophile.

Especially a long-range sniper living in communist china.

Since I’m neither a pedophile nor a sniper, you must therefore care about my opinion of your trolling here.

Guilty conscience? Where did I indicate you?

I was addressing the troll, CH.

How am I involved in this? I never called you a sniper. I’m not even sure what that means…

…unless it means you are a diaper sniper.

…in which case… well… then… yes, of course you are.

Though you are welcome to condemn pedophilia if you don’t support it or support adults who touch children inappropriately.

But that would be like a skinhead condemning Hitler… so I ask the impossible.

Right, pedo?

Come on now CH… All of us are sinners. Some, by our standards, worse than others; but we’re equally guilty in God’s eyes–before we’re born again (2 Corinthians 5:17).

The Bible says we’re >>>all<<< headed for hell on greased skids without Christ. But anyone who calls on the name of Jesus will be saved (Romans 3:23, 6:23, 10:9-10, 10:13).

Even the faith needed to simply believe is a gift from God, so no one can boast about being more righteous than anyone else (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Mind you, the reason not everyone is going to be saved is because many reject God, in spite of the evidence, and remain under judgement, condemned (John 3:19-21).

I do pray none of us reject that, in spite of the teasing we do here.
