My proofreader recently revealed to me the following, which I was wholly unaware of: > ...when a number/code/serial or whatever is said in dialogue, you write the whole thing out... I had written the designation of a robot as Unit M55/987.3, and he said I would need to sound it out: > ...“Unit Em-fifty-five slash nine hundred eighty-seven-point-three has been terminated.”... Is this true? If it is true, can I still 'ignore' it as one of those grammatical liberties authors sometimes take (in the same class as using fragments)?
