Is it right to use Capital letters as first letters in figures. E.g Five hundred and Thirty - Five naira.
ReplyDeleteNo, only for the first letter in the figure, and that is when the figure begins a sentence, e.g., Five hundred and two men came. But: I met five hundred and two students in front of my office.
