Squat in Korean

The squat is a pretty familiar term for Koreans. You see it everywhere, and everybody does it everywhere, but the correct Korean term isn’t that familiar (at least to me). “스쿼트(S-quo-t)” has been used for a long time, but it turns out that “스쾃(S-quat)” is the correct spelling in Korean. It looks simple in English, but then not so much in Korean.

“스쾃(S-quat)” just seems strange. Maybe it’s because my eyes have been so used to the “스쿼트(S-quo-t)”. I don’t know why I am spending my precious time thinking about this (and even writing about it).

Something needs to be done. Yes.

Starting today, I’m going to use “스쾃(S-quat)”. It’s strange, but I will get used to it, eventually, as always.
