My colleagues and I are wondering how best to handle the situation where we
include a single note anywhere in our content or multiple Notes. The
specific issue we are puzzling over is whether to title a list of notes
with the word Note or the plural form Notes. Our only reason for going with
the singular is to avoid forgetting to add the s when using the plural.
It's simpler to just add Note everywhere.
This came up after we decided to move away from using a run-in title with
just Note for every individual note. In our Help, that often appear a bit
heavy, so we're trying a bulleted list with either Note or Notes as the
signal word.
With Gratitude,
Nelson Vargas
