Day 87: Punctuate bulleted lists as if they were written out in a sentence, using capital letters.

Here’s an example of a sentence with a list. “The dog has three toys: a squeaky rubber frog, a tennis ball, and Mr. Sock.”

If we transform this into a bulleted list, we get the following.

The dog has three toys:
 
  • A squeaky rubber frog,
  • A tennis ball, and
  • Mr. Sock.

You should notice 4 main elements:

 
  1. The colon after “toys,”
  2. The comma (or semicolon) after each list item,
  3. The placement of the word “and,” and
  4. The period at the end.
