Numbers

Numbers

• Numbers can be either spelled out (e.g. “Nine thousands”) or written in numerals (e.g. “9,000”). Be consistent.
• In case multiple numbers follow each other, write the first in numerals and spell the second one out (e.g. “3 nine-inch boards”).
• Use commas as separators (i.e. “10 thousand” = “10,000”).
• Use full stops for decimals (e.g. “10.5”).
• Only use numbers up to 99,999.
• In the case of millions, billions, etc, said word needs to follow the number and present a space (e.g. “10 million”), but only when it comes to “round numbers” (e.g. “12 million” or “19 billion”).
