Hate Being A Pedant?

Do people say that you're too perfectionistic and you want to change but don't know how? Do you feel like it's impossible, because everything you do just has to be perfect?
Alright, I should stop sounding like an advertisement...
I have one tip for you. (Oh, it's amazing when you don't have to think about the correct spelling of "tip".) Actually, I'm not a pedant myself, it's just... I am; I can't even lie because lies hurt people… It's pretty frustrating.
Anyway, what I want to do is to give you an advice some of you will not appreciate but whatever, I don't care... I do. Dammit! 
Wow, I've already written so many lines without saying anything meaningful. Are you still reading? Okay, I'm proud of you. Now the point: use American recipes when cooking. (This only works in case you're not American already.) I think many of you see what I mean. Of course, this can't solve everything but it's a good way to start changing your approach to the world. 
I personally hate their "tsps", "tbsps", "cups", 3/4 cups and 2 tbsps... Like... Are you serious? How can you bake anything this way? You know, there are like fifty million types of cups in the Central Europe, now envisage France and its billions of coffee types with a unique cup for each one. Seriously? Moreover, they look like they want to kill you when you enter a room holding a cup you've just bought in a coffee vending machine. (Maybe I shouldn't have entered a coffee shop with it. Ummm, worth considering but no.) 
There’s a similar situation with their "spoons". OK, maybe it's not so analogous. 

Nonetheless, the point is that there are not any exact amounts of ingredients therefore you just can't make the requested meal precisely. So you'll just have to get over it… We’ll have to.

That's all... I just felt guilty for not having posted anything lately.

Love & peace
