Herpes infections are very common. Fifty to 80 percent of American adults have oral herpes (HSV-1)

It bothers me that fifty is written out as a word but eighty isn’t. It’s just one letter more. Either do 50, 80, or fifty, eighty.
I thought the rule of thumb was to spell out anything after 10.I had it backwards.
You have it backwards, you spell out one to ten, and then 11 and up are numeric.
Duh, you’re absolutely right. I need more coffee
I was taught to spell out until twelve, after that the *teen ones start, which are a lot more letters and space on the paper.
Of course it all depends on whatever the relevant style guide says. Consistency is the most important bit.
Are most people asymptomatic?
