Lists

There are three types of lists: unordered lists, ordered lists, and description lists (a.k.a. definition lists or association lists). Ordered (numbered) lists should usually be used only for list items that should be in a specific order, such as steps in a cooking recipe.

Examples

• Lists are easy to do:
  • start every line
• with a dash
  • more spaces and dash mean
    • deeper levels
      • even deeper

1. Numbered lists are good
   1. very organized
   2. easy to follow

I use lists a lot, and good to know some English grammar rules to follow.

Punctuation in bullet lists

There are many ways to format bullet lists—including with punctuation and without. Both ways are correct, but you need to make sure you’re consistent in which direction you choose.

Here’s an example of an inconsistent bullet list.

Some interesting things about me include:

• I like to play the saxophone.
• Am distantly related to Charlemagne
• I have never missed a day of work in my life.

The above bullet list lacks consistency. It’s a mix of two complete sentences and a fragment.

Below is the accurate way to convey the same thing with bullet points.

Some interesting things about me:

• I like to play the saxophone.
• I’m distantly related to Charlemagne.
• I’ve never missed a day of work in my life.

However, if you chose to use all fragments instead of complete sentences, you wouldn’t need to end the fragments with punctuation.

Without punctuation, lists are harder to read, especially when they are long. Main idea is use consistent punctuation.

Use ”;” in bullet-list items probably not good idea, because list item can use it as separator.
