Write Over Number Contract For Free

It is generally best to write out numbers from zero to one hundred in nontechnical writing. In scientific and technical writing, the prevailing style is to write out numbers under ten.

It is a common practice to number provisions in some way, in particular to make reference from one to another easier. But not all contracts include such internal references.

Fortunately, the rules about numbers in writing are much easier ? and more scintillating ? than the definitions of words related to numbers. The Chicago Manual of Style, The Bluebook and the ALWD Guide to Legal Citation all suggest spelling out numbers from zero to ninety-nine.

Numbers can be written either as words (e.g., one hundred) or numerals (e.g., 100). In this article we follow the guidelines of APA Style, one of the most common style guides used in academic writing. In general, words should be used for numbers from zero through nine, and numerals should be used from 10 onwards.

Overview of number formatting Numbers with two or more digits should be written as numerals unless they are at the start of a sentence (see examples). Numbers between 1000 and 9999 should contain no punctuation. Numbers with five or more digits should include commas (not decimal points or full stops).

The contract number is long and comprised of letters, numbers, dashes, and perhaps a space as well. An example would be W912HN-01-C-0022 0034.

If the number is approximate (e.g. 'around six hundred years ago') it should be spelled out. Very large numbers should generally be expressed without using rows of zeros where possible (e.g. $3.5 million instead of $3,500,000). In contracts, the use of both words and numbers is common in order to increase certainty.
