I shall not bristle when I see "loose" for "lose" or less calories instead of fewer calories

The word derp shall not pass my lips

    I need to adopt this as my MFP resolution.

    I will just accept that on a multi-cultural forum a lot gets lost in translation.

    Now you've raised the bar too high :) Can't we start off with something easier, like climbing an 8000-footer or running a marathon?

    I will drop at least half of the 75 pounds I need to lose.

    I will not judge anyone too harshly for eating the Obligatory 1200 Calories MFP likes to give and try to educate rather than dictate.

    I will not get frustrated at seeing all the masses of questions that everyone has asked before. I will enjoy being friended by new year-ers. I will not get too sad when 90% of them stop logging in after a month.

    I will stop clicking on all those 'cheat day' threads.

    I will not get insanely jealous of people who can eat twice as many calories as me and still lose weight.

    I will stop getting so annoyed at my own typos and grammatical errors (other people's don't bother me). Mind you, I've been saying that since AOL 2.0...

    I will stop letting passive aggressive responses bother me so much.

    Oh who am I kidding.

    I will cure cancer. That seems more doable.

    I shall smile serenely and pass without comment all posts titled 'Can't lose weight!' when it involves two weeks of dieting and three days of being the same weight...

    I shall shudder, avert my eyes, and place a dollar in a jar when 'defiantly' is used in place of 'definitely' on these boards. Correcting is useless & I could use the money as a rainy day bonus...

    I shall bless and release all women of various sizes, shapes, ages, and activity levels who want to eat 1200 calories. It is obviously part of their feminine identity to be such delicate creatures. I pray there is a sturdy fainting couch nearby for their comfort & safety...

    Yours (shall we take weight and fitness as a given)

    "Less" is a perfectly correct term to use when preceding a thing that can be counted. So "less calories" is grammatically correct.

    Sorry.

    I shall not mentally chant "what a waste of testosterone" when 19 yo guys post that they are eating 1300 calories a day because they think they are skinny fat.

    Wait *kitten*, I've got that the wrong way round. Ignore me, you're right. It's things that can't be counted where "less" should be used.

    This is embarrassing for me because I'm doing a masters degree in professional writing

    I will try and not let MFP's glitches bother me as much.

    I think I've failed already... Stupid recipe calculator

    I will not get annoyed by data entries that do not have grams listed. I will, however, give my phone screen the evil look.

    I will take the time to modify every entry that doesn't have grams listed (but you can't edit the verified one. WTF).

    There's nothing more wonderful than verified, solid entries listed as mLs.
