[stylist] Writing question

[Fred Wurtzel]

Hi,

I have Strunk and White around here someplace.  I will look there, also.
Since you are the editor, I guess you can choose any rule you want.  Most
newspapers and magazines have their own style sheets, so that is perfectly
acceptable, to me.  I was simply checking for more or less common usage,
though common is not always so common.

Warm Regards,

Fred

Some time back, I was helping my daughter with a paper she was writing.
She 
told me she'd been instructed that two digit numbers got written out (i.e. 
twenty-five), but any number above a hundred would be expressed in digits
(i.e. 
125).

For Slate & Style, I try to follow that rule.
