Foreign tongue (The Newsroom)

Ever heard of a frenectomy? And no, it's not a procedure to remove your Facebook friends. Or enemies.

It's a surgical procedure to lengthen your tongue by cutting ... OK, you probably don't want to know the details, but a British teenager recently underwent the procedure to help her speak Korean.

Student Rhiannon Brooksbank-Jones is fascinated by Korean culture, but her shorter-than-average tongue made speaking Korean a difficult task. (Most people would have trouble speaking Korea even with a regular-sized tongue, I'm guessing.)

If things don't work out for the dedicated linguist, she can always get a job with KISS.
