I find myself still using the slash technique. I guess old habits die hard. I also still want to 'bulletize' (sorry MM) everything with incomplete sentences.

When I worked on the Army Staff, and was writing for something that would be signed out by the CSA or higher to sign, it was not unusal for it to come back for changes by everyone that touched the paper -- both for arcane formats and for writing. It would be so frustrating, because we often were working on a very tight suspense. I've wanted to throw papers before. I've also wanted to choke a dwarf (what they call the staff that works for the CSA). Several times, we got so frustrated that we would write it, stamp it draft and deliver it to the intended recipient (who really only cared about the info, not the format)while writing and rewriting the original.

We also had this wonderful little creation called a DISUM, that was limited to only 15 lines, and the acronyms had to be spelled out. We got very creative with the English language in trying to make it fit and also be understood. I still get a knot in my stomach just thinking about it.
