I would like to ask you, authors, whether you feel like writing numbers in words looks cleaner than in numbers themselves.
Well, the question is quite vague so I will give an example.
Example one:
"It was twenty minutes later when a loud roar was heard."
Example 1:
"It was 20 minutes later when a loud roar was heard."
Example two:
"In total, we acquired seventy two gold coins over the span of two hours."
Example 2:
"In total, we acquired 72 gold coins over the span of two hours."
Final example three:
"Eating breakfast took about ten minutes, while a shower took me about fifteen minutes, all in all it took twenty five minutes and it was now twenty five minutes to eleven."
"Eating breakfast took about 10 minutes while a shower took me about 15 minutes, all in all it took 25 minutes and it was now 11:35"
Well, the examples here should be self explanatory.
