WTF KakaoTalk "And"...*

So i just updated to KakaoTalk 3.6 and it's %#@*$^& &^*!$.  I'm really pissed off right now, I should have read to reviews before updating.  Well there goes my staple form of communication with Korea.  Live and learn seems like the appropriate idiom for this situation.  By the way it's only affecting the iphone, all the android platform devices seem to be functioning without any issues... conspiracy...? anybody...?  I actually do prefer Samsung over Apple, but of course my Galaxy 3S had issues and I had finally given up on it (after sending it back to Verizon 3 times).

Anyway, enough of my crying.  This week I'm working on particles and conjunctions.  They seem simple enough, I think the hard part is remembering to use the particles in conversation.  The interesting thing about conjunction is that they are distinctive in expressing different implications and nuances  How many ways does Korea have of saying "And"?.

Anyway I'll list the stuff I've been going over.

(n.) + 에서 - From
(n.) + 부터 - Starting from
(n.) + 까지 - To/Until
(n.) + 에 - At/To, can be used to mark a location/time/situation
그리고 - And/And then (used to link phrases)
그레서 - So/Therefore (used to show a logical relationship between 2 phrases)
하고 - And
(이)강 - And
그렇지만 - And/But/However (State 2 facts with indifference)
그란데 - But/However (Contracts 2 facts (or ideas))
