- I collaborate with someone who insists on making every sentence (or two) in a business document into a bullet point, by prefacing it with a bullet. - This is typically done across a multi-page document, which is divided into sections with section headings. - Points which I consider real bullets then get a second level in the bullet point hierarchy. Numbering for 'bullet points' is almost never used. - This is done for clarity, but I think this looks terrible, takes up space and makes things less clear. - Are there any style references which explicitly discuss this practice? I'm looking for an objective discussion for why this a bad idea. - Thanks for your help!
