spelling out a doublt digit number?

Question

What do you capitalize when you spell a double digit number?
ex. Is 21 Twenty-one or Twenty-One?
thanks!!

Answer 1

Twenty-one

Answer 2

twenty-one.

I have twenty-one cats.

Sierra is so dipped. Would you write "I invited Six people to the party"? How totally not there. That's the same as saying "I invited Twenty-One people to the party."

Or how about this "Bobby refused to Co-Operate during dinner and threw the creamed spinach against the wall." Why capitalize it just because there is a hyphen? I don't get it.

I don't know what is wrong with you Brain-Dead people.

Answer 3

If it's at the beginning of the sentence, "Twenty-one." If it's in the middle of the sentence, you can use the numeral, unless you're using it with other spelled-out numbers. However, a general rule is numbers ten and below are typically spelled out (unless you're referring to an address) and numbers higher than that are written as numerals.

Answer 4

I was always tought to spell it "Twenty-one". This is because one is still part of the word twenty and you only capitalize the first letter of the word.

Answer 5

Unless it is at the beginning of a sentence, it is just twenty-one.

Answer 6

They aren't bonrally capitalized.

If they occur in a title, thye both get capitalized.

And you are correct, twenty-one and Twenty-One are hyphenated.

Answer 7

Examples
The answer is twenty-one.
Twenty-One people arrived at the party.

Answer 8

Twenty-one, that's how I write it in my checks

Answer 9

twenty-one I don't think it matters if you capitalize it or not

Answer 10

You don't have to capitalize it unless it is at the beginning of a sentence.
