Lists

Lists are a great way to organize ideas visually and enhance readability. When using lists:

  • Use bullets rather than numbers unless sequential order is important. If you have more than five bullets, you have too many for a reader’s quick look. Reconsider how you are displaying the information.
  • Each bullet in a list should have parallel structure. For example, if one bullet begins with a verb, all bullets should start with a verb.
  • Capitalize the first word of the bulleted content, and finish with a period only if it is a complete sentence.
  • Bulleted lists should have at least two items. If there is only one, it can most likely be added to the sentence before it.
  • Use a colon after introductory text.
