Appropriate usage of numbers (II)

数字の扱い(II)

◎Treatment of numbers (II)
A number should not be used to start a sentence. Instead, the number should be spelled out or the sentence should be rewritten such that the number is not at the beginning.

Wrong: 100,000 yen was the total amount.
Right: The total amount was 100,000 yen.

Wrong: 1941 saw our entry into the war.
Right: The year 1941 saw our entry into the war.
