Texting a Sick Girlfriend and Getting Dumped Over Spelling

The first news for Morning Hot Topic: "Get well soon" (written with the wrong spelling of the verb in Korean).

It is spelled incorrectly; it should use a different character without a final consonant.

It shouldn't have a batchim.

How would you feel if your partner or someone you were set up on a blind date with sent a text like this?

Ahead of Hangul Day, we brought survey results showing how such spelling mistakes can affect favorability.

A dating app surveyed 518 users regarding their perceptions of spelling by romantic partners.

Among female respondents, 7 out of 10 answered that they understood breaking up with a partner who frequently makes spelling errors.

On the other hand, the proportion of male respondents who shared the same view stopped at 38.8%.

There were slightly more women.

In fact, about half of the men evaluated that breaking up over spelling was being too sensitive.

However, the most common reason cited for reacting sensitively to such spelling errors was that it leads to judging the other person's basic level of knowledge.

The analysis suggests that the use of spelling goes beyond a simple issue of linguistic knowledge and can even affect favorable communication with the other person.

I suppose I should run a spell check before sending a text message.
