9월 20일 Occupational Diseases
I am a high school Korean language teacher. I have a few sympotoms that you could consider occupational diseases. Firstly, if I see a spelling mistake and leave it uncorrected, it feels like an itch I can't bear. Of course, being a Korean language teacher doesn't mean I know how to spell everything perfectly. Whenever I get confused with spelling. I always look it up in the Standard Korean Dictionary of the National Institute of Korean Language.
There are many times when I want to correct my friends or students when they make spelling mistakes or mispronounces words. However, I often find myself in a dilemma because I don't want to hurt their feelings.
There were times when I tried to correct my friends without upsetting them, and they still dressed me down, saying "That's an occupational disease."
