New issue 15902 by [email protected]: when 'ㅈㅈㅈ' is typed with Korean  
IME on, turn it off and replace the string with 'www'
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=15902

This is b/1025045.

A lot of Korean users end up typing 'ㅈㅈㅈ' when they mean to type 'www'
in omnibox (i mean the url bar of other browsers) because 'ㅈㅈㅈ'
corresponds to 'www' with the most popular Korean keyboard layout.

When 'ㅈㅈㅈ' is typed at the beginning, switching to English mode and
replacing it with 'www' would be handy. (it was requested in the Korean
mozilla user group a couple of years ago)

We can go a step further and make an intelligent guess of what a user means
when a gibberish Korean is typed when she actually means to type an English
word (or vice versa). However, there's a Korean patent (a stupid patent
office !!) for this and MS ends up payting some money to the patent holder
(IIRC) so that we may not do that (Google search quality/spelling  team
considered this before, I heard).
