Bulleted Lists: The Online Writer’s Friend. Why do so many writers and editors seem biased against bulleted lists? Even worse, why do they so often burden the bulleted lists they do use with the ill-fitting punctuation of a complex sentence – almost as if apologizing for creating a true list? Let's face it: In online media, and even in many types of nonfiction print publishing, the bulleted list can be an excellent tool to enhance readability and comprehension – if used with care.

cnn divides europe. Gert-Jan posted this excellent screencap of CNN reporting on Putin's visit to Berlin. Too bad they moved Switzerland up and over to the Czech republic's spot on the map.
