Hanji
Hanji is the name of the handmade paper produced
in ancient Korea from the 1st century BCE. Made from
mulberry trees, its exceptional quality made it a successful
export, and it was widely used not only for writing but also
for interior walls and everyday objects, such as fans and
umbrellas. Hanji, famed throughout Asia for its whiteness,
texture, and strength, is still made today in specialized
Korean workshops.
Initially Korean paper was made using hemp fiber, but
the highest quality hanji was, for many centuries, made only
from the pith of mulberry trees (tak in Korean, Latin:
Broussonetia papyrifera). The toughness of hanji meant that
it was ideally suited for use in printing presses that used
blocks made from magnolia wood, which had been soaked
and boiled in saltwater and then dried for several years
before use. Each block was 24x4x64cm and carried 23 lines
of vertical text on each side. These were then covered in ink
and paper was pressed against them. The resilience of hanji
was especially useful from the 12th century CE when
printing was done using heavier moveable metal type made
of bronze, a Korean invention.
In the Joseon Period (from the 15th century CE), such
was the demand for hanji, that Sejong the Great (r. 1418 -
1450 CE) permitted other plant materials to be used in its
manufacture, especially bamboo. The paper was made in
specialized workshops in the capital and the five provincial
capitals. The hanji which was produced for state use was
supervised by a government agency, the Chonjo-chang.

holistic perspective. Agronomists are specialists in crop
and soil science, as well as ecology. Some things they look
at are:

• how the soil interacts with the growing crop;
• what nutrients (fertilizers) the crop needs;
• when and how to apply these nutrients;
• the ways that crops grow and develop;
• how climate and other environmental factors affect the crop at all stages;
• how best to control weeds, insects, fungi, and other crop pests; and,
• how to grow crops effectively and profitably while conserving and protecting the environment.

A lawyer used ChatGPT to prepare a court filing. It went horribly awry.
A lawyer who relied on ChatGPT to prepare a court filing on behalf of a man suing an airline is now all too familiar with the
artificial intelligence (AI) tool’s shortcomings — including its propensity to invent facts.
Roberto Mata sued Colombian airline Avianca last year, alleging that a metal food and beverage cart injured his knee on a
flight to Kennedy International Airport in New York. When Avianca asked a Manhattan judge to dismiss the lawsuit based on the
statute of limitations, his lawyer submitted a brief based on research done by ChatGPT.
While ChatGPT can be useful to professionals in numerous industries, including the legal profession, it has proved itself to be
both limited and unreliable. In this case, the AI invented court cases that didn’t exist, and asserted that they were real. The fabrications
were revealed when Avianca’s lawyers approached the case’s judge, saying they couldn’t locate the cases cited in Mata’s lawyers’
brief in legal databases.
“It seemed clear when we didn’t recognize any of the cases in their opposition brief that something was amiss,” said the
airline’s lawyer. And soon they figured it was some sort of chatbot of some kind. On the other hand, the passenger’s lawyer said that
it was the first time he’d used ChatGPT for work and, therefore, he was unaware of the possibility that its content could be false.

Collective nouns, like “team” or “family,” present a
challenge in determining whether to treat them as
singular or plural. The context and intended emphasis
guide the decision, reflecting the collective unit's unity or
the individuality of its members. Mastery of collective
noun usage refines language precision and clarity.
