| Dec 31, 2016 at 4:49 | comment | added | Robusto | It implies a list, but not necessarily a numbered one. You could easily have "Let me enumerate the reasons red is my favorite colour, from most compelling to least: it is the color of blood, it works well with white, and it comes first in RGB." It does work well with numbers, however. | |
