Hwang: Understandably, the “O” and the “L” are the easiest to deal with. The “O” has become a Halloween pumpkin, a Nobel Prize medal, the Korean flag symbol and the planet earth.

The first “G” is the most difficult to deal with, and I don’t think the “E” has gotten much action because of its location.
