	14	+
	15	+=== ===
	16	+
	17	+=== Numerals ===
	18	+
	19	+Use ‘one’ unless you’re talking about a step, a point in a list or another situation where using the numeral makes more sense: ‘in point 1 of the design instructions’, for example. Or this:
	20	+
	21	+You’ll be shown 14 clips that feature everyday road scenes.
	22	+
	23	+There will be:
	24	+
	25	+1 developing hazard in 13 clips
	26	+2 developing hazards in the other clip
	27	+
	28	+Write all other numbers in numerals (including 2 to 9) except where it’s part of a common expression like ‘one or two of them’ where numerals would look strange.
	29	+
	30	+If a number starts a sentence, write it out in full (Thirty-four, for example) except where it starts a title or subheading.
	31	+
	32	+For numerals over 999, insert a comma for clarity: 9,000
	33	+
	34	+Use a 0 where there’s no digit before the decimal point.
	35	+
	36	+Avoid using or write out 0 (zero) and 1 (one) where they could cause confusion with the letters "O" and "I" or "l".
	37	+
	38	+=== ===
	39	+
	40	+=== Fractions and percentages ===
	41	+
	42	+Spell out common fractions like one-half.
	43	+
	44	+Use a % sign for percentages: 50%
	45	+
	46	+Use MB preceded by a space for anything over 1 MB: 4 MB not 4096 KB.
	47	+
	48	+Use KB preceded by a space for anything under 1 MB: 569 KB not 0.55 MB.
	49	+
	50	+Keep it as accurate as possible and up to 2 decimal places: 4.03 MB.
	51	+
	52	+=== ===
	53	+
	54	+=== Ranges ===
	55	+
	56	+Use ‘500 to 900’ and not ‘500-900’.
	57	+
	58	+Addresses: use ‘to’ in address ranges: 49 to 53 Cherry Street.
	59	+
	60	+=== ===
	61	+
	62	+=== Ages ===
	63	+
	64	+For most audiences, writing the year followed by the month is most comprehensible. For example: '1 year 6 months' rather than '18 months', 'a year and a half' or '1.5 years'.
	65	+
	66	+Below 1 year, use months e.g. 6 months old.
	67	+
	68	+=== ===
	69	+
	70	+=== Typography ===
	71	+
	72	+Use a clear and familiar typography. 1 and I can look the same depending on the typeface.
	73	+
	74	+=== ===
	75	+
	76	+=== Data ===
	77	+
	78	+Be specific and again, consider the context.
	79	+20% of 10 people is very different to 20% of 100.
