numbers: age
Exact age is usually indicated in numerals, even if less than 10:
- Jane, aged 9, and her brother Tom, 10, led the hike.
It is written out, however, in the case of approximate age and in formal contexts:
- He’s eighty if he’s a day.
- She was no more than seventeen at the time.
- On the occasion of her retirement at the age of sixty-five.
