== Numbers and Numerals ==
We follow the [https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html Chicago Manual of Style] when it comes to numerals and numbers. The default Chicago style for numbers one through one hundred is to spell them out. Use numerals for 101 and larger numbers. Also use numerals for years, times and percentages.
 
When writing [[w:Ordinal numeral|ordinal numeral]]s, do not abbreviate: "first", not "1st"; "second", not "2nd".
