What's the rule about writing numbers out in a paper?

What was it again? Example: 3 million or three million? That type of stuff.

IIRC if the digit is < 10 then you type it out.

Just be consistent.

I will almost always write it out fully, unless it's a date or something.

I learned this in elementary school but I forgot 😛

It was something like <20 = words, >20 = numbers

That's the rule I learned and that's what I still do most of the time today.

Just be consistent and nobody will second guess you.

For the (broken) record: it's whatever you decide as long as you are consistent.
