Oh well. I guess you never heard about all the liaisons
and things that go on with final consonants and consonant
clusters. Hangul was order-made for Korean, but Korean has
changed. In many ways, it's similar to the current state
of French. It's definitely not as nice as Finish or Italian,
but not as bad as English.
