Annotation:

"to jog one's memory" (idiom) means to cause a person to remember something.

"dot points" - also referred to as "bullet points" is any of a number of items printed in a list, each after a centred dot, usually the most important points in a longer piece of text. They can be items containing one or more words which will act as an aide memoire to someone who is giving a speech or making a presentation etc.

Do "dot points" mean ~primary highlights?

> An annotation for "dot points" would be useful, too, I think.
> Do "dot points" mean ~primary highlights?

I have amended my original Annotation to include dot points/bullet points.
