When some but not all bullets end with a period in a PPT. Drives me nuts! Either have none ending with a period, or all need to have a period, but please don't mix.

Oh fuck you.

Not because you suddenly made me aware of this, but because I catch myself doing this with slides sometimes and figured I was getting away with it!

What if one bullet is two sentences... Then should ask bullets end with a period?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes.

The way I do it is if a list only has single sentences or sentence fragments, I omit the period.

If there is at least one point with two sentences, everyone gets a period.

If a list has sentence fragments and double sentences, I cry. Then I rewrite the fragments into complete sentences, complaining about it the whole time.

Any second sentence in a bulleted list gets it's own sub-bullet.

No periods.
