Our history teacher requires us to write out numbers from 1-100 in our history essays. However, if I were writing something such as
"The September 11 attacks"
would I have to write "September eleventh"?
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Yes, you would, in that case.
To determine how to write out numbers in your history essays, it can be helpful to refer to style guides or the specific guidelines provided by your teacher.
In general, when writing out numbers in words, it is customary to write out numbers from one to nine, and use numerals for numbers 10 and above. However, there are some exceptions to this rule.
When it comes to specific historical events or dates, it is usually recommended to write them out in words. For instance, "the September 11 attacks" would be written as "the September eleventh attacks." This is because the event is commonly referred to using the words "September eleventh," rather than the numeral "September 11."
To ensure accuracy and consistency in your writing, it is best to consult any style guides provided by your teacher or institution. These guides may offer specific rules regarding the writing of numbers and dates in historical contexts. Following these guidelines will help you meet your teacher's requirements and demonstrate your understanding of proper academic writing.
