@oscherler@tooting.ch @Devorppa@aus.social I think at that point you have a paragraph, not a dot point

@oscherler@tooting.ch @timixretroplays@digipres.club As a *general* rule, dot points are supposed to be short and if one writes multiple sentences in a dot point then really it is a paragraph so what is the point of having dot points? Note: I don’t make the rules. Leaving that as a side issue, if one must have multiple sentences in a dot point, the final ‘thing’ before the carriage return* should be a semi-colon (unless it is the final dot point, in which case it is a full stop). * for those younger people who don’t remember typewriters, a carriage return effectively signifies the end of a line of text. There is a function you can turn on in most word processors to see them and (for example) the dots for the spaces between words.
