    I want to make bullet points but I don't want the inherent blockspace/indentation that comes with the <UL><LI> usage. Is there a way to call out the bullet without using <UL><LI>? - Mike http://www.cgiscript.net FREE CGI/Perl/JavaScripts

    Punctuation Inside or Outside a Closing Quote?

    Should punctuation go inside or outside the closing quotation mark? I often catch myself using this rule incorrectly.

    Avoiding Gender Bias

    I work for a major automotive company. I write procedures, manuals, and technical papers as part of my every day responsibilities. Nothing irks me more when other writers cannot avoid using gender specific words to make their point. For example, "The user should first turn on his computer."...

    My Ex-Father-in-law uses these 2 words and it drives me crazy! He should have stayed in high school! When he tells me dinner is dethawing I ask him why he put it back in the freezer. When he asks me to unloosen a jar for him I tighten it more and hand it back to him. Mike Barone...

    call or phone?

    I have always been troubled by the use of these words with regard to utilizing the telephone. One that stuck in my head from long ago was "ET phone home!" Should that read call home (hehe)? I always saw the word phone as a noun and seeing it used as a verb bothers me. I know it can be used in...
