Changing my Style

08 Jun 2020 at 16:28 // under Site

So far, I have generally followed the Guardian and Observer style guide when it comes to numbers. That is, write out in full any number less than 10.

There are four lights

I recently found the GOV.UK style guide which advises writing the numeric for any number other than one.

The trilogy consists of 5 books.

This was how I used to write, before I came across the Guardian's guide and I still catch myself writing this way now. But I agree with the government’s writers that it is clearer to use the number. In future I will change my writing style.

I wonder what other things I should change.
