The main difference between a bulleted list and a numbered list is that the order of the items in a bulleted list is not important, while the order of the items in a numbered list is important.
Bulleted lists are often used when the order of the items is not important, such as when you are listing the ingredients for a recipe or the steps in a procedure. Numbered lists are often used when the order of the items is important, such as when you are listing the steps in a tutorial or the chapters in a book.

* Use bulleted lists when the order of the items is not important.
* Use numbered lists when the order of the items is important.
* Use consistent formatting for your bulleted lists and numbered lists.
* Use a clear and concise style for your bulleted lists and numbered lists.
* Use bulleted lists and numbered lists to help organize your text and make it easier to read.
