Why bullet points are important and often undervalued


Hello fans of me. Today I am going to regale you with what I think of the bullet point.

There are many a reason why bullet points are useful:

  • They make you sound more intelligent
  • They put things in neat lists
  • They save time on using connectives like "and" and "also"
The list goes on :
  • They save space, if you don't have much space
  • They are a good substitute to numbered lists, when numbers aren't appropriate
That brings me to the end of my list.

I find that bullet points can be used in many situations, here are a few ideas:
  • Exams, for instance, instead of writing in continuous prose as many mugs insist on doing, you can save both yours and your examiners time by listing all the facts you can remember in a bullet pointed list. Use caution though, it is frowned upon if you list all the facts you know. The majority of exams I have come across are categorised by subject.
  • Official letters. Again rather than being a mug and writing letters/emails out in full paragraphs, save time by using bullet shaped points.
  • Blogs, perfect example lollolol.
  • Conversation (See example below)
Example bullet point conversation:

  • Hello 
  • Fine weather
  • Nice shirt
  • I love the kooks, don't you ?
  • Farewell

I spend at least 3 -  5 minutes a day conversing with people. I can often cut this down to 1 - 2 minutes by talking to them as if I was using bullet point. That's a cool 1 - 4 minute saving that I spend:
  • Blogging
  • Practising dancing
  • Watching old interviews of The Happy Mondays on youtube
  • Thinking about the future
  • Finding things on the internet to lol at

There are however some places where bullet point conversations aren't appropriate:
  • Court cases
  • Domestic arguments
  • Debating boundaries of towns/villages ( v. important issue)
  • When talking to government officials
  • When blogging about why immigration is good but also in some respects not good (still to come)

That's all for now. Before I go make sure you have a look at my new merchandise below. Email me at PriceysFace@hotmail.com to place your orders.
