Accepted Guides

The Chicago Manual of Style (17th Edition) is our main style guide. Merriam Webster’s Unabriged Dictionary is our source for spelling.

Exceptions

• Numbers
  • Use CMOS Alternate Rule:
    • ”Many publications, including those in scientific or journalistic contexts, follow the simple rule of spelling out only single-digit numbers and using numerals for all others (but see 9.7). Most of the exceptions to the general rule (9.2) also apply to this alternative rule. Round multiples of hundreds, thousands, and hundred thousands, however, are typically expressed as numerals when the alternative rule is in force (cf. 9.4).”
