Just a minor nitpick here.
The Korean tailor in this episode refers to Charles, Hawkeye and BJ as Sensei which is a Japanese word.
Sensei is the form of address used for someone who teaches so I am not entirely sure why they used it.
The Korean word for Sensei is: Sabumnim

Interesting to know but I don't think many people know Korean.
I doubt if they were that worried that anyone would notice.
Besides Sensei looks easier to pronounce than the Korean word.

I read a martial arts site and apparantely the literal translation is slighly different from what it actually means due to their alphabet.
I'm not sure why they'd use a Japanese word in Korea but then we use French words in the English language.

Oh believe me, Sensei is far easier to pronounce. I've been studying a Korean Martial Art for over two years now and I still can't pronounce sabumnim |
