    Mr. Dougherty, even though this has nothing to do with the assignment but I don't know where to write this so I'm writing it here. I just need to say that at the student blogs, when you click the link that says J.J., it gives me Byeong Jae's blog, not Jong Jin's (who commonly known & called as JJ). Byeong Jae has given an English name by himself (i guess)'Jay' because Byeong Jae isn't a name that is easy to pronounce or remember for non-Koreans. So I think you were thinking that that blog was JJ's blog. Would you change that, please? I know it isn't a big problem but it just annoys me. Sorry for bothering you and thank you :)
