Hey Koichi, the e-book is great. One question: for the age counter, 10 years old is listed as being “juusai”, but I think it should be “jussai”. Am I right?
Thanks!

Heeeey! I was just going over this sheet and noticed that under the last long list of ridiculous counters, there's two different entries for word. Why is that?

How do you count things under the "things that have no counter or have a ridiculously obscure one" above ten? Do you just use the regular ol' Sino-japanese number?
For example, would
セーターを二十一買った (セーター・をにじゅういち・かった）
be just as valid as
セーターを二つ買った　(セーター・を・ふたつ・かった)?
