It does not set it off as a term. What you have is a Def list. Something needs to set those terms off from their definitions. If you used a table, it would be space. In a compact use like you have on the card, it should be a period, colon or dash. (That;s it for me. I won't argue the point anymore). >> 3. For Multimedia, I think you can remove the comma after "descriptions of >> video". I'm pretty sure you can replace the words, "in case" with the word >> "when". > >We just changed it from "when" in "in case". See Judy's comments. > I appreciate Judy's comments. Thanks for pointing them out. I missed them earlier. The problem with the phrase "in case" is that it's not an international phrase. I see it as "dead wood" (talk about non-international phrases). What you're saying when you use the phrase, "in case" is "just in case you forgot"; or, "just in case you overlooked". The idea of the card is to deliver statements that people can immediately react to. Keep it simple and straighforward. While it's true that the statement isn't based on a 100% ratio, most people understand the implication. Okay, I'm done for the day. Time to get back to my own writing. :-) - Mike Mike Paciello Email: <paciello@ma.ultranet.com> WebABLE! Solutions Tel: (603) 598-9544 131 D.W.
