Happy Bluebook Wednesday! This one came up last week in a Brief Benjamin B. Brown and I were finalizing, and I admittedly got tripped up. (Yes, it does happen.) So, it is only appropriate that the next Bluebook Wednesday Tip covered it. ---------- Let me know if there's anything specific you want me to address in a future Tip. ?

I’m a Garner fan on this one. #numbersoverten

I don't believe that you got tripped up, Melanie! ??

1 年Very interesting. I guess the Bluebook and Bryan Garner are in conflict on this? As a general practice, he suggests spelling out all numbers ten and below and using numerals for 11 and above. I tend to follow that advice, but I didn't realize the Bluebook suggests something different.
