Result of Example

As I referred on 3.3, the previous modification word is used to make criteria for the modification of Korean orthography. . Indicates the total frequency of ‘자장면’ (the standard word before 2011), ‘짜장면’ (the word had been wrong word before 2011) for 5 years. The frequency of ‘짜장면’ is about 3.3 times of frequency of ‘자장면’. As a result, the criteria value for modification is 3.3 in this project. . shows the frequency of ‘자장면’ and ‘짜장면’ according to the time.

Table 2 shows the classification of the pre-collected words according to the value which has been found from the example. The words marked with ‘*’ are the most frequently used words and the motion chart (Fig. 7) of them are presented on the website for this project. The motion chart shows that how the frequency of word is shifted as time goes by.

The value of multiple
(Wrong word/Right word)
Wrong words
The number of words which have to be
modified
from wrong word to right word (More than 3.3 multiple)
겨땀, 곱등이, 궁시렁거리다, 귓볼, 넝쿨, 되려*, 모듬*, 씨부리다, 어리버리*, 우겨넣다, 주구장창, 찌질하다*, 찰지다*, 체신머리, 흐리멍텅하다. (15)
The number of words which have to be considered to be modified from wrong word to right word (less than 3.3 and bigger than 1 multiple) 건네다, 닥달하다, 되갚음, 또아리, 뽀개다, 설레임, 아둥바둥, 오뚜기, 으시대다, 줄임말, 짜집기, 한 끝 차이 (12)
The number of words which do not have to be modified (less than 1 multiple) 넓다랗다, 돌맹이, 뒤치닥꺼리, 뒤치다거리, 뒷치닥걸이, 맛뵈기, 맛배기, 맛빼기, 배끼다, 새침대기, 어짜피, 얼버무리다, 여지껏, 우뢰, 임마, 졸립다, 짧다랗다, 웅큼 (18)
