corea

The original spelling of that particular country until the Japanese colonization from 1910-1945. Japan basically wanted the "K" to go after their country's name alphabetically. Note that Spanish, French and other european langauge use "C" for Corea instead of "K" for the dumb-second class english speaking countries.

Yankee: I have visited "K"orea last summer.
Me: It's not "K"orea idiot, it's spelled Corea, get it straight!!
