Style and Technical Writing Guide

Here are some additional conventions to follow when writing out technical information:

Numerals

Write out all numerals under 10 unless those numbers are used in a range (ex. “3-9 feet tall”)

Write fractions as decimals (ex. 1.25 vs 1 ¼)

Medical vs. Medicinal

Use medicinal to describe the properties of drugs and herbs. Use medical to describe anything having to do with the medical field such as doctors, hospitals, or procedures.
