Anyone Else Anal About Formatting of Diary Items?

I am really crazy about my diary looking organized and gramatically neat. Meaning, i like the wording to match the label exactly. If it is spelled wrong in the database I will look until I find the correct format. I may even make a new entry.

Anyone else like that?

    I am as well. And I've found that a lot of the stuff in the database is inaccurate or does not agree with the labels sitting in front of me. It also drives me nuts when I can't find something in the database. The other day I went to a restaurant and every other item on the restaurant's menu was in there except the one I ordered -.- I went a little nuts haha.

    i like my diary to be as accurate as possible. i will correct if the macros aren't correct or filled out. I don't choose items that misspelled either. so ya, I guess.

    i don't however like the word anal associated with my food diary - i am anal like that. ha ha

    Nope -- if the label says it's 120 calories and the item I add is 120 calories, I don't care if it is in swahili. Done.

    PLEASE do not make a new public entry. There are already so many duplicates in the database. Instead, edit the entry (especially if it is spelled incorrectly)/

    If the entry is wrong, I will make one. Simple. Thanks though for policing the database. Your services are no longer needed. :laugh:

    What? First, it's more "simple" to edit an existing entry. Second, I've never policed the database. The personal attack is a nice touch. Creating new entries (aka incorrectly using the database) is why, when I look up a very common salsa brand I find 10+ results. I can't wait until MFP purges the database of items without confirmations.

    Function is more important than formatting (which you can change, easily).
