<Li> Asterisks are sometimes used as an alternative to typographical bullets to indicate items of a list . </Li> <Li> Asterisks can be used in textual media to represent * emphasis * when bold or italic text is not available (e.g., Twitter, text messaging). </Li> <Li> Asterisks may denote corrections to misspelling or misstatements in previous electronic messages, particularly when replacement or retraction of a previous writing is not possible, such as with "immediate delivery" messages or "instant messages". Usually this takes the form of a message consisting solely of the corrected text, with an asterisk placed prior to the correction . For example, one might send a message reading "* morning" to correct the misspelling in the message "I had a good mroning". </Li> <Li> Bounding asterisks as "a kind of self - describing stage direction", as linguist Ben Zimmer has put it . For example, in "Another gas station robbery * sigh *," the writer uses * sigh * to express disappointment (but does not necessarily literally sigh). </Li>

Where do you put the asterisk when correcting a word
