Help with Columns

Hopefully somebody better at wiki than me can help. How can I set the column widths to be the same please? You'll see under the 'number and counters' section, the widths go all over the place and it looks ugly. Can somebody help, onegai? --JessicaTOhayo gozaimasu! 14:47, 26 June 2008 (EDT)

I've cleaned it up some. You might want to consider moving it into one large table and takeing out the '*' (ol) that is not being used properly. Something like this...
Objects
Counter Represents
hon 本 Long, cylindrical objects: trees, pens, etc.
mai 枚 Flat, thin objects: paper, sheets, etc.
ko 個 Broad category of small and compact items; also military units
hai 杯 Liquid in cups, glasses, bowls, etc.
satsu 冊 Bound objects,books, magazines, etc.
dai 台 Vehicles, machines, etc.
kai 階 Floors of a building
ken 件 Houses, buildings, etc.
soku 足 pairs of footwear, socks, sandals, etc.
tsuu 通 Letters
Duration
Counter Represents
jikan 時間 Hour, as in ni-jikan = 2 hours
fun 分 Minute, as in go-fun = 5 minutes
byou 秒 Second, as in sanjuu-byou = 30 seconds
hi 日 Day, as in go-hi = 5 days
shuukan 週間 Week, as in san-shuukan = 3 weeks
kagetsu か月 Month, as in ni-kagetsu = 2 months
nenkan 年間 Year, as in juu-nenkan = 10 years
Animals
Counter Represents
hiki 匹 Insects, fish, small animals (dogs, cats, etc.)
tou 頭 Large animals, cows, horses, etc.
wa 羽 Birds
Frequency
Counter Represents
kai 回 Times, as in ni-kai(twice)
do 度 Times, as in ichi-do (once)

This way, it is one large table and you can move the section heading around within the table. --Rutm 14:52, 26 June 2008 (EDT)
