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”.
Following are the Top 10 Signs You Might be Addicted to Numbered Lists:
- You have an RSS feed dedicated to blogs that frequently post Top 10, 20 50 lists.
- You’ve set up a Gmail Alert for Top 10, 20, 50 lists.
- On a blog or website with a numbered list, you read the list first and the surrounding article last.
- You actually count the points made to see if they agree with the title.
- 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.
- You can always think of at least one point they missed.
So there you go. Are you addicted to numbered lists?
