Words of Wisdom: The Objection

By Shari Broussard, VicePresident

1) When the words “object, objection,” et cetera, are used alone, put a period
after them before the reasons for the objection are enumerated.

Example: Mr. X: Object. Beyond the scope.

2) When there is a coordinate conjunction – – and, but, or, nor – – between
each of the objections, use no punctuation before any of the conjunctions.

Example: Mr. X: Objection. Compound and vague and beyond the scope.

3) When there is no coordinate conjunction between any of the objections, use
a period after each separate objection, whether it is a complete sentence or a
fragment, before going on to the next.

Example: Mr. X: Objection. Compound. Vague. It is beyond the scope.

4) When a coordinate conjunction is used only before the last objection,
separate each objection with a comma, and use a comma before the final
conjunction also.

Example: Mr. X: I object. It is vague, compound, and beyond the scope.

5) When the objection is followed by or combined with a prepositional phrase,
use no punctuation.

Example: Mr. X: Object as to relevancy.
