When using numbers in my essays Ive never acutally learned the proper rules, Ive just winged it and hoped for the best. But I think its about time that I learn those rules. Personally when I'm learning anything I like it to be short and sweet, so I tried to apply that to this.
Writing Numbers
Rule 1. Numbers 1-9 you must spell
Numbers 10-infinity can use numerals
Rule 2. Be consistent within a category.
ex. My 10 cats fought with their 2 cats.
My ten cats fought with their two cats.

I always forget or mess that up. Thanks for posting it. Very helpful, now only if I can remember the rule when typing a paper.
