However, so many *Koreans* mix up two separate things Hangul (script) and Korean (language) and call both of them 'Hangul'. I don't like it, but I'm afraid I have to live with that. North Korea is better in that respect than South Korea. North Korea seems to use two distinct words to refer to the script and the language. If two Koreas are unified the way I wish them to be in the future (NOT the way two Germanies were unified), we may have to come up with (a) new term(s)/word(s) to refer to the script (and possibly the language).
