Punctuation

Periods

• Use a single space to separate sentences.

• If the items in a bulleted or numbered list are sentences themselves or are a continuation of the sentence that introduced the list, then use a period at the end of item. If the items are nouns, then do not use a period.

Commas

• Use serial commas.
