Meanings
-
(Australia) An item in a bulleted list.
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-

2010, Mark Tredinnick, Geoff Whyte, The Little Black Book of Business Writing, page 159: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.
