ok, ok! I can take a hint. No more procrastination.
Attached are two files, the raw text file used as the source for all this (suitable for importing into your pleco installation for flash cards) and a premade user dictionary file.
I've kept the traditional characters (which is where my previous attempt was lacking - I was missing some of the traditional characters) and included all the text from the
http://chinesenotes.com/ref_measure_words.htm website and I've converted the accented characters into tone numbers for accuracy.
Also, I noticed that there were two measure words that were not on the website, but were in the original text file that
@christoph55 included. Those are:
次 ci4 occurance / time
簇 cu4 pile / cluster / bunch
Feel free to posts any additions you have, or measure words that I've overlooked, or corrections you may have found.
During the cleanup of the text file, I did some mass edits for the tone markers and I may have made a bad edit. I don't think so, but I didn't look too carefully at the end result because I never make mistakes, right...?
Have fun.
