I chose numerical, simply because I like as little typing as possible. I'm even scripting writing this message. Laughing

I always type numbers when I can, because I'm not very good with the numpad/numbers on the keyboard.

It appears to be properly prepared for use in a potion or other mixture. There appears to be thirty-five units worth of argurat pulp.

Can we get this turned numerical?


Anyone else have an opinion on this?

I've never had a problem reading it, but I wouldn't object to seeing numerals, either.

The problem with that is, the people who genuinely don't like to see the numerals are still going to see them. It really only helps those who don't like reading it out longways.

Seeing something like 50 in the middle of words just stands out. You stop reading the words after while -- you know what they are -- and just look for the numbers.

In a way, you just proved Sorkaa's point.

In theory, I think we should have digits for does and such, because theoretically someone could end up making:

"The rifts potion contains two hundred and fifty six doses of the Elixir of Rifts."

It's easier for "The rifts potion contains 256 does of the Elixir of Rifts."
