Writing the date
In today’s tip I show you some dos and don’ts regarding writing the date. There are many ways to write it!
Writing numbers
Is it 7.300 or 7,300? 20,5 cm or 20.5 cm? A lot of people are unsure about how to write numbers (with commas and points) and prices, so today should clear up any confusion.
