What does your style guide say about periods? I notice none of your bullets ended with a period. As a programmer I often struggle with whether I should end my comment with a period.

- vharuck 6y agoFirst, I dislike the AP style guide. So my own writing will sometimes violate it just to please me. As for periods, any phrase that is a complete sentence must have a final punctuation mark. So my bullet points would've required periods in a report. They also could've been connected by semicolons with a conjuction at the end of the second-to-last point: - A; - B; or - C. The idea is to stick to proper English sentences. The bullet points are just incidental formatting.
