Surgery for better English.

Oh. My. God.

"Speaking English with a native accent has become such a status symbol that some parents reportedly put their children through the clinically questionable surgery of snipping the thin tissue under the tongue to make it longer, helping the children to pronounce the "R" sound better."

I wonder if this actually works. I'm going to guess 'fuck no'. Asians who grew up in America or other English speaking countries speak perfectly. Their little Asian tongues haven't kept them from reaching full linguistic capacity. Which means that this news only confirms how terrifically, horrifyingly weird and bizarre Koreans can be.
