“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.”

“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.”
