February 19, 2012 at 8:16 AMI know that the percentage is over 10%. The figure is actually mentioned in one of the New Practical Series. (I'll look it up when I get a chance.) However, 了 and 着 aside, most of them are relatively infrequent or only include a tonal change.

February 19, 2012 at 6:18 AMI love saying you all, especially to clarify the difference between one person and a group of people. I feel like it lessens potential confusion about whom I'm talking to.
