It's not about emphasis. I probably should have used bold instead, it was just meant to make the word easy to see. They use the word legend in reference to the guy who rode on a unicorn. I can see no other interpretation that isn't specifically looking to make NK seem they're away with the fairies, rather than run of the mill paranoid despots.Major Tom said:I can't see the same emphasis you do. The word legend is used only once throughout the whole piece, the rest of it sounds like they consider the legend to be true, and that Pyongyang is the centre of that legend. Maybe the report hasn't been edited well enough to reflect what they think about the existence of unicorns, and they don't actually think it was real, but they way the article reads to me suggests they do.
This is probably an agree to disagree issue.
You are right though, it has not been edited well, and it's translated from Korean, you can see the clumsy use of English throughout.
Finally yes, without more to go than translated snippets of a vague online news report I doubt either of us will bring the other round to their POV. I am always very sceptical of claims based on things like that especially when they are as ludicrous as these and poke fun at another nation. Bullshit like "Australia bans swearing" (I'm sure you remember that), sensationalist headlines with just enough vague details to make it seem possible with a cursory skim (especially if it panders to pre existing ideas people have about the subject) but once you read it properly you realise what a load of crap it is.
