Dear eUSA,

Korea, and by extension Korean, is spelled with a "k", not a "c".

That is all.

Yes, it's Korea. XD

Due to the recent actions of eJapan against eKorea, and some articles and comments consistently spelling Korea with a "c", I felt it was my duty as a born eAmerican and current eIrish Bro to let them know this.

The latter link is a legitimate stamp dated from 1884, which spells it Corea. Sure, it's not the most modernized form of the name, but it's still historically correct as a former name prior to Japan's involvement.
Wikipedia quote: "By the first two decades of the 20th century, "Korea" began to be seen more frequently than "Corea" - a change that coincided with Japan's consolidation of its grip over the peninsula."

In short, people who choose to call it that are simply referring to Korea in its form without Japanese influence. I imagine if Russians (by some miracle) conquered America and renamed us, there'd still be some folks who wanted to rebelliously call it America.

That is all.
