This, in the old days when I went to school we were taught to write a number in word form when it was part of a sentence.

Like the old joke

"Why is ten scared of seven?
Because seven eight nine"?

It was 6.

Six was scared of seven. He's right next to him, so he'd be more scared.

Chr15t, can't we get anything right on this thread ...

Yes but ten is, or was, next to nine and they think they will be next, so it works either way! 🤷😆

They hold monitors that feed back speed, distance, steps taken etc (probably a lot more)

Apparently, if you ask ChatGPT

"A hotel or an hotel, which one is correct?",

you will get the following response:

Both "hotel" and "hotel" are correct, but "hotel" is the more commonly used spelling in North America, while "hotel" is the more commonly used spelling in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world where British English is spoken.

Looks like we don't have much to fear from AI any time soon.
