Grammar Bit #8.


Numbers.

Write out single-digit numbers.
EX. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.

For 10+, use numerals.
EX. 10, 11, 12, 13…

Don’t mix and match!
Incorrect: I have five socks and 20 shoes.
Correct: I have five socks and twenty shoes.

  1. Interesting little thing you got going here. I kind of love it, being a stickler for grammar myself. I've never heard of this before. I usually just write the numbers out.
