atw: Re: Heading reword

Along those lines (and perhaps less likely to be misinterpreted as patronising), how about "Just to make sure I'm being clear", or "Because I want to make my points clear"...?

"This is the request:
The heading I'd like to replace is: "Just let me ram it home..."
"To summarise" or "To reiterate" have been rejected, but that is what
this section is about."

Janet

As I understand it, the point of the heading is to indicate that the
content
that follows reiterates key information in summary form. I would
therefore
suggest something like:

"To reinforce..."

or

"To reinforce key points..."

or

"To reinforce key principles..."

or if you prefer to use the present participle form of the verb:

"Reinforcing key points"

or

"Reinforcing key principles"

I share your distaste for "Just let me ram it home..." - vulgar and
inappropriate.
