Our question for today is how to punctuate a bulleted list when a statement comes right before the list. I will add numbered lists, as well.

There are actually two parts to this answer: the statement that comes before the list and the list itself. Both have a variety of options, and it seems no two resources agree. ( Here is a grammarian's advice with some examples from Teen Wolf. )

The Grammarians have been asked "How do you use quotation marks and colons/semicolons together?"

This combination really does conjure up visions of a punctuation traffic jam. Let's take a closer look, and we'll work it out -- one way or another.

( With examples from a pair of fantastic journeys: Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollboth and C.S. Lewis' Voyage of the Dawn Treader...  )
