• " aged 5," five. And the latter age -> fourteen.
  • aren't ages always numbers? I thought someone had told me that before. MOS:NUM says: Comparable values should be all spelled out or all in figures, even if one of the numbers would normally be written differently: patients' ages were five, seven, and thirty-two or ages were 5, 7 and 32, which is why I wrote this like this Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:29, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
    • No, ages aren't always numbers. But you're right about the comparable values. Since we usually write out numbers less than 10 or those which can be written in one/two words (e.g. fourteen, thirty-two) then I've always opted for words.

Any reason why "2009 Predator International Ten-ball Tour – Portugal[34]" isn't mentioned in the prose? The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 11:30, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

• I have added a little bit about this - the tour was barely much of a thing, but he did win it Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 11:59, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
