native speaker

[edit]

It is misleading to say Henry is trying to become a native spekaer. While it is true that someone who has read the book can realize that the putting of the term in quotation marks makes it perhpas quite appropriate, the purpose of an article is to introduce a subject. A person not familiar with the book will probably think Henry is trying to learn how to sound like a native...far from it.211.225.34.185 (talk) 01:22, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

self-contradictory?

[edit]

"Henry is the quintessential Korean-American, yet much of his Korean heritage resonates through his voice, personality, and beliefs." Huh? To me, the quintessential KA has much of his K heritage resonating. So why is the word "yet" used? 211.225.34.185 (talk) 01:22, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
