dot point
noun1
Australia An item in a bulleted list.
- Dot points work well when each dot is a short phrase or clause (like this) each one runs no longer than this (try to keep each point from run- ning over a line, like this) […] But different rules apply when each dot point is a sentence or a paragraph—when, in other words, it stands on its own grammatically.2010, Mark Tredinnick, Geoff Whyte, The Little Black Book of Business Writing, page 159:
- The digital edition advises against using ‘and’ or ‘or’ at the end of dot points in lists. The sixth edition allowed ‘or’ at the end of a list item, though recommended avoiding this if possible.2021, “Lists”, in Australian Government Style Manual, archived from the original on 21 Sep 2021:
