Nayr's Core5000 deck (Frequency Dictionary of Japanese)

#57
@Nayr182, even if you don't send Rutledge a bill for this editorial service, you might consider writing to the authors and seeing what they think of your edits, and maybe rolling some/all of them into the next edition. I continue to be amazed with your work.

Can I use this deck for learning vocabulary?
Should I use this deck for learning vocabulary? :p

I'm not a programmer and I don't know anki, so this will be wrong in a million ways, but this quick hack seems to work for highlighting the word in the sentence:
Well, you've got the Japanese expression すみません down nicely Tongue! (It sounds a bit strange in English, apologizing so much Smile) Very nice code. If/when I begin this deck for vocab, I might convert them to cloze-deletion cards somehow, so I have to fill-in-the-blank: generate kanji given kana and also generate kana given kanji. (No English on the cards of course, after learning them initially.)

But this is a good idea: maybe as part of the v2 upgrade, the word can go in its own span tag to highlight it/hide it/etc. There's a couple of minor problems to watch out for if you do this programmatically:

(1) there are four sentences that are each used by two words. (So eight words out of 5000 produce only four sentences, e.g., その歌手は若い人に人気がある is used for 人 #58 and 若い #397. One sentence, one note, two entries in the "word" and "frequency order" column. The converse is true too: ten words out of 5000 have two sentences demonstrating their multiple meanings).

And (2) sometimes while the word is written in kanji, it's used in the sentence in kana (in the current version at least). Earlier in the thread I noted these kanji to be 敢是幾揃膝癖奪御巡総. Maybe v2 will fix some/all of these kanji-vs-kana discrepancies.
