	On the topic of lists, I'm a fan of commas after a list item that is less than a full sentence (rather than semi-colons). Commas seem friendlier. Have a look at what is in the [[Clicklaw Wikibooks Style Guide#Bulleted lists\|style guide for bulleted lists]] and see what you think. - Drew		On the topic of lists, I'm a fan of commas after a list item that is less than a full sentence (rather than semi-colons).

			==Punctuation==
	What punctuation should we use for non-roll-over definitions? example: "Interim applications, applications for temporary orders, can be made by filing a Notice of Motion in Form 16." [[User:Brenda Rose\|Brenda Rose]] ([[User talk:Brenda Rose\|talk]]) 00:38, 5 April 2013 (UTC)		What punctuation should we use for non-roll-over definitions? example: "Interim applications, applications for temporary orders, can be made by filing a Notice of Motion in Form 16." [[User:Brenda Rose\|Brenda Rose]] ([[User talk:Brenda Rose\|talk]]) 00:38, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

			==Preferred word usage==
	Practice, practise, licence, license - c = noun, s = verb "I'm licensed to practise law - there's my law licence hanging on the wall at my law practice". Gayla, can you confirm that this is the way we should be using these words? [[User:Brenda Rose\|Brenda Rose]] ([[User talk:Brenda Rose\|talk]]) 19:08, 5 April 2013 (UTC)		Practice, practise, licence, license - c = noun, s = verb "I'm licensed to practise law - there's my law licence hanging on the wall at my law practice". Gayla, can you confirm that this is the way we should be using these words? [[User:Brenda Rose\|Brenda Rose]] ([[User talk:Brenda Rose\|talk]]) 19:08, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

			:Following Gayla's recommendation, let's go with 'c' for noun ("my driver's licence") and 's' for verb ("licensed to drive") [[User:Drew Jackson\|Drew Jackson]] ([[User talk:Drew Jackson\|talk]]) 17:59, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

			Nate and Gayla make a compelling case that it's time to go with "internet" (lower case 'i'). We don't say "I heard it on the Radio, but didn't see it in the Newspaper." [[User:Drew Jackson\|Drew Jackson]] ([[User talk:Drew Jackson\|talk]]) 17:59, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
