Babelcarp enters a third milliverbium

Dear Lew,

I use the site very often - thank you for your continued work on what has turned out to be a truly invaluable reference site.

Thank you Lew! I have needed Babelcarp quite a few times, and I appreciate the work you have put into it.

Thank you, Lew!

Didn't have an entry in my Rosetta Stone for teabag. Knowing what you dont have is just as important as knowing what you do. Keep up the good work because I know sometimes it is more tedious than exciting. For a perspective at most in my printed asian dictionaries that might be a 100 entries related to tea in any give one. I'd say about 10% of my Window Chinese characters won't load(show) on a Mac 10 which is more or less Linux.

Thanks, and I agree about the sometimes-tedious part.

Speaking of tedious, have you gone through dictionaries word by word from beginning to end?

Thank you for your work & time on the Babelcarp Used it frequently, SN.

I have a Chinese-Japanese dictionary with 80 entries for the cha transliteration. I have a page copy of a Chinese compound dictionary with 105 entries for the tea character. In those entries it mentioned Lu Yu was aka the 'tea maniac'. The character for maniac is really fine print and faded. I can make out the right side and the closest I can come is the dian1 or for crazy or mad. Does this look correct for those in the know.

This is the character I tried to show. I can't vouch for Unicode and Google on this computer.

BTW, another great language resource is this one:

You can type in a word, paste a character, or even draw the character, and it will give you possible meanings, along with the tone, and in many cases, a recording of the pronounciation.

Hard? No, just time-consuming. I've actually been working my way through the alphabet in Babelcarp doing just that, but I have a million other things to do, including, of course running down users' queries that the Carp can't currently answer. At this point, the alphabetical scan is at the letter M.

Thanks for pointing it out. It's the prettiest site of its kind I've seen, and the drawing recognition should be nice. But I just tried it, and it took a long time just to load; worse, when I typed in the Pinyin for a single character, it froze.

Keep up the good work Lew!
