💯О том, как писать цифры в технической документации
📌The style rules for numbers can vary, but the most important thing is to remain consistent throughout the document.
📌Generally, spell out numbers less than 10; write numbers 10 or greater as figures. This applies to both cardinal and ordinal (spell out first or fifth, but use 14th or 122nd)) numbers.
📌Some exceptions to the general rule include:
✔️Express time in figures: “11:30 a.m.; 4:00 p.m.”
✔️Do not begin a sentence with a figure: either spell out the number (however large), or rewrite the sentence so it does not begin with a number.
✔️Very large numbers are expressed in figures followed by the word million, billion, etc. For example: not 1,000,000,000, but 1 billion.
✔️Use figures for all percentages and decimals within a sentence: “A score of 3 percent was reached an average of 3.5 times.”

🤷🏻♂️"Less и Fewer- есть ли разница? Например, в предложении "We are aiming at fewer (or less) bugs?" #вопрос_от_студента

📌Use “less” for indefinite quantities/uncountable nouns, like water or satisfaction. If you can count the items, however, use “fewer”.
