1.I live in Suwon, where Hwaseong Fortress is and it's my hometown. I've been always wondering why it is called not "Hwaseong Castle", but "Hwaseong Fortress". Is it probably because it was built for protection not for normal purpose? What do you think is the difference between "fortress" and "castle"?
2. Why doesn't "king" have any article like "a" or "the"? Is it just a customary usage?
gp36)Have you ever been to Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon? The fortress was built by King Jeongjo to honor his dead father, Crown Prince Jangheon(now called Sadoseja)....Years later,the prince's son, Jeongjo, became king....
