Counter for small annoyances

Hey, can we maybe get some standardization on the the “counter for” vocab and kanji as far as the wording of the answer? Ideally I would like it to accept all three of _____s, _____ counter, and counter for ______s. I’d be satisfied with only one of those as long as it was consistently the same one and I could learn it.

I just failed ~枚 again because I put “counter for flat objects” when the answer is “flat object counter”. I swear, but can’t prove it, I’ve been wrong the opposite way before on other items. I added it as a synonym, but I feel like it’s a thing that would benefit everyone.

Oh yes please !
Without ignore script I know I would have failed so many times some counters… Ship counter or Counter of ship ? House counter or Counter of house ? Tatami mats counter or Counter of tatami mats ? Only one form is right for those three counter. Etc. Etc.

Even outside counter, for non native speaker, those kind of expression are always a struggle… Do we say Introduction letter or Letter of Introduction ? And why ? I always wonder if there is some kind of rule in English that govern the A B vs B of A pattern…
