Money
(a) Use the dollar sign ... $ $ $ $
$10 $1,000 $90,000 (not $90 thousand)
(b) Use exact figures up to $1 million. On figures more than $1 million, use:
$ 1 million $2.7 million $6.28 billion
(c) Round off, unless an exact figure is required.
$9,853,159 can usually become $9.85 million on first reference.
(d) With ranges of amounts, don't say:
WRONG: $8 to $10 million
RIGHT: $8 million to $10 million
TIP: Because you already have the word dollar "built into" the dollar sign,
don't
