suggestion for PDFs: MEASURE WORDS!!

wouldn't it be terrific if the pdfs contained measure words to the listed nouns..?? if chinesepod is about spoken mandarin, then there is no way around the damn measure words! sure, users may not be able to absorb them right away (or even know about them), but listing MW in parentheses after the noun would allow users to go back later and learn it... PLEASE?

if not feasible, can you direct us to a good online resource (not general dictionary) where MW can be looked up quickly?

but i really hope this could be implemented.. am sure i'm not alone.

好的意见但是我觉得量词该来前字

agreed. to reduce clutter, one could also omit 个　which would be implied as default, i.e. only list MW if it's not 个. parentheses around the MW would remind the reader that it's not part of the word.
