#2: Initial revision
My general rules, adapted from AP style: - In narrative prose, use digits for 10 through 99. - Use digits for 100 and above unless the number can be expressed in two words (like _two thousand_ or _five hundred_ or _a hundred million_). - In dialogue, write out all numbers. You don't say "47," you say "forty-seven," as @what points out. - Write out digits under 10 in prose and dialogue.
