Order entries based on ngrams #967

jmdict and jmnedict entries could be ranked based on Jim Breen's Google N-gram Corpus Counts.

That's a great idea. As far as I can tell, however, it costs quite a bit ($150 according to one site, 88,000円 according to another) and takes up 26Gb so it could be a bit of work to get that up and running in our current pipeline.

Would it be feasible to individually query Jim's site for all JMdict entries? Not sure how long a script like that would take to finish, though.
