Numbers spelled out
- Forbidden
- "eight hundred and ninety nine designers"
- Instead
- "899 designers". Numerals have a different shape to letters, so they are faster to find and read, and anyone looking for a figure expects a figure.
What this rule looks like
Why this rule
Format consistently: 1,000 not 1000. For very large numbers, mix numerals and words — 1 billion, not 1,000,000,000 — so nobody has to count digits.
