Be it resolved in the year 2010, I will:

1. Re-re-read The  Elements of Style.  And then read Patricia T. O’Conner’s Woe Is I: The Grammaphobe’s Guide to Better English in Plain English and Bill Walsh, The Elephants of Style: A Trunkload of Tips on the Big Issues and Gray Areas of Contemporary American English.English is a dynamic language one never stops learning, becuase it never stops changing.
2. Write in books. Make notes in the margins. Underline. Wow, the very ideas makes me shudder.I have a life-long aversion to marking in books, yet I often return to a book—reference books especially—and can’t find what I’m looking for, nor can I recall (because I failed to jot them down) any thoughts, insights or resolutions made based on the author’s contribution to my education and imagination.
3. Stop using the word guys to refer to a group of people. Guys is often completely unsuitable, such as when I heard a TV reporter address two nuns as  “You guys ….”  It’s a limitation of English that we don’t have a plural for you —and odd that we haven’t nationally adopted y’all—but that doesn’t mean we need to be sloppy, cavalier or disrespectful.
4. Learn another language. (This might take me past 2010.)  As much as I treasure the English language, I think it’s an educational disgrace that most Americans aren’t bi-lingual. (The two most commonly spoken languages in the US are English and Spanish, yet +80% of Americans speak English, about only about 12% can speak Spanish.)  I was required to study Spanish in high school but I was required to learn it. The time has come! Soy resuelto!
5. Not judge people harshly for using its and it’s incorrectly. Oh, I’ll still judge them, but I resolve to be less harsh about it.
