Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17890 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300 827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq	Wednesday, 6th March, start 15:15 Squat, sleeves and boots 20 x5 20 x 5 20 x 5 30 x 3 40 x 5 50 x 3 60 x 3 70 x 3 80 x 3 90 x 3 100 x 3 110 x 3 120 x 3 130 x 3 130 x 3 130 x 3 The shoulder didn't weep as much as usual tonight which is no bad thing and the walkouts weren't what they should be but that aside this really wasn't too bad tonight. The real bonus was that Turner never showed so I was spared that trauma. Hope he's alright, but if I had to guess it would be that he just couldn't get a lift so just didn't bother.

Some scribbling needed XGXXY XXXXX XYYXX YGYYY I will gently point out that at school I would have been very soundly thrashed for writing "four" as a word but "three" as a numeral. That says more about my school than it does about anything else. But to my untrained eye it does look rather odd, although I would never go so far as to call it wrong.

I have no idea why I wrote it that way. I was told by someone I used to work with, who had previously worked as a proof reader, that you should write numbers 0-9 as words but 10 and above as numbers. I don't know how true that is or if she just made it up

I don't know how true that is or if she just made it up I've heard the same. For me, it depends on what the writer is trying to convey. Numerals stand out better within text. Regarding having numbers written as words and numerals within the same piece of text, I would argue that there could be justification for this if the numbers are conveying different things and this distinction makes matters clearer.
