Numbers. There should be no digits in the source text because they can cause problems when read aloud. The way a number is read depends on context and might introduce confusion in the dataset. For example, the number “2409” could be accurately read as both “twenty-four zero nine” and “two thousand four hundred nine”.
Getalle. Daar moet geen syfers in die bronteks wees nie, want dit kan probleme veroorsaak wanneer dit hardop gelees word. Die manier waarop 'n nommer gelees word, hang van konteks af en kan verwarring in die datastel veroorsaak. Byvoorbeeld, die getal "2409" kan akkuraat gelees word as beide "vier-en-twintig nul nege" en "tweeduisend vierhonderd en nege".
