I'm writing a paper for publication in an American Psychological Associate (APA) journal. The APA says to spell out numbers less than 10 and to use numerals for numbers 10 and larger, which I get. So, one, two, ... nine, 10, 11...
However, my paper makes frequent reference to surveys I sent participants at three and 12 months. This looks weird to me, linking numeral names and numerals with a conjunction. I'd prefer either three and twelve months or 3 and 12 months (my preference being the latter).
Am I alone in preferring numbers joined by a conjunction to be all numerals or words?
