! Style/form !! Comment
|-
|A/V + ㅁ/음 (instead of [[A/V + (으)면]])
|This is not to be confused with the real grammar pattern [[A/V + (으)ㅁ]] which turns a adjective or verb into a noun.
*일찍 끝남 전화할게 → 일찍 끝나면 전화할게 (If I finish early, I'll call you)
*시간 있음 만나자 → 시간 있으면 만나자 (If you have time, let's meet)
|-
| Simple spelling
| Examples:
*맞아 → 마자
|-
| 응 substitutions
| Using 엉, 웅, 앙 instead of 응 (low form of 'yes'). These forms are supposed to be more 'cute.'
|-
| Adding ㅇ as the [[받침]] to words.
