Numbered List Addiction

Everywhere you look on the internet there are numbered lists. “The Top 10 Reasons Why…”, “The 15 Best Ways to…”, “20 Tips for a Better…”, “Five New … Rated and Reviewed”.top10

Following are the Top 10 Signs You Might be Addicted to Numbered Lists:

  1. You have an RSS feed dedicated to blogs that frequently post Top 10, 20 50 lists.
  2. You’ve set up a Gmail Alert for Top 10, 20, 50 lists.
  3. On a blog or website with a numbered list, you read the list first and the surrounding article last.
  4. You actually count the points made to see if they agree with the title.
  5. You get really irritated if the title is something like “the Top 10 Signs You Might be Addicted to Numbered Lists” then lists only seven signs.
  6. You can always think of at least one point they missed.

So there you go. Are you addicted to numbered lists?
