I have listed an example and I have my old assignment and comments that need to make the assignment a “100%”.
Date: August 24, 2020 To: ENGL 211 Students From: Steve McCartney Subject: Compliant list example The University’s Honor Code is in the box below. Errors are highlighted in yellow; issues meriting elaboration are in cyan: On my honor, I pledge: ● That I will take responsibility for my personal behavior; and ● That I will actively oppose every instance of academic dishonesty as defined in the Code of Student Conduct. Several instances of non-compliance can be remediated. These include multiple punctuation marks and omitting a redundant conjunction: On my honor, I pledge ● That I will take responsibility for my personal behavior ● That I will actively oppose every instance of academic dishonesty as defined in the Code of Student Conduct The changes are as follows: ● I removed the colon, because what had preceded it is not a complete sentence. ● I removed the periods because neither list item is a complete sentence. ● I removed the “and” at the end of the penultimate list item. I could have also factored out the “that” and moved it to the signal phrase, rendering the list items complete sentences and therefore able to take periods: On my honor, I pledge that ● I will take responsibility for my personal behavior. ● I will actively oppose every instance of academic dishonesty as defined in the Code of Student Conduct. I could omit more redundancies and grammaticize the introductory clause. Capitalization of non-sentence list items is not in universal agreement. Many editors suggest lowercasing non-sentence list items, and we certainly have typographical/grammatical precedent for that. But there are three reasons to consider capitalizing the initial letter of non-sentence list items: ● The NASA handbook recommends it. ● Most list auto-formatting capitalizes them; to lowercase them means to undo a lot of autoformatting. ● In fixed-width fonts, where a bullet point is a lowercase letter , the capitalization helps distinguish list item initials from bullets: Some words that begin with include o Octopus o Octagon o Odyssey Some words that begin with include o octopus o octagon o odyssey

sentence
You have two gerunds and an NP; can you make the
third item a gerund, e.g. necessitating face masks…?
nonparallel: (i), (ii), and (vi) are pages but (iii) and (vi) aren’t—and (v) is
missing.
List items which are complete sentences end in
periods.
no colon—not a complete
sentence
Use an en dash (–) with no spaces. A hyphen (-) is okay in a pinch, but
make sure it’s flanking spacing is balanced: 6-8 or 6 – 8, but not 6 -8 or 6-
- The suspended hyphen is ONLY for connecting series of prefixes or
suffixes, e.g. pre- and post-War; pre- and postwar; pro- or anti-immigrant.
The hyphen becomes an en dash in a compound: pre–Civil War, post–
Jim Crow (cf. post-Reconstruction).
