Turn On Number Contract For Free

For whatever reason, when attorneys draft contracts they don't just write the numerals like regular people. Instead, attorneys typically write out numbers in words as well as add the numerals in parentheses. For example, instead of writing ?45 days?, an attorney would write ?forty-five (45) days?.

Writing Small and Large Numbers A simple rule for using numbers in writing is that small numbers ranging from one to ten (or one to nine, depending on the style guide) should generally be spelled out. Larger numbers (i.e., above ten) are written as numerals.

The Chicago Manual of Style, The Bluebook and the ALWD Guide to Legal Citation all suggest spelling out numbers from zero to ninety-nine. The Oregon Appellate Courts Style Manual says to spell out numbers from zero to nine (as does the Bulletin), and Chicago recognizes this alternative as popular in some publications.

Numbers can be written either as words (e.g., one hundred) or numerals (e.g., 100). In this article we follow the guidelines of APA Style, one of the most common style guides used in academic writing. In general, words should be used for numbers from zero through nine, and numerals should be used from 10 onwards.

If the number is approximate (e.g. 'around six hundred years ago') it should be spelled out. Very large numbers should generally be expressed without using rows of zeros where possible (e.g. $3.5 million instead of $3,500,000). In contracts, the use of both words and numbers is common in order to increase certainty.

Contract numbers are automatically generated by prefixing the person number with 'CONT'. For example, if the person number is 17040, the contract number would be CONT17040. Subsequent contracts of the assignment would have suffix numbers, for example CONT17040-2, CONT17040-3.

Contract Number means the unique identifier provided by the seller for an agreement, which is documented in the cover sheet of the agreement.
