Library Newsletter APA Style Blog by Chelsea Lee If you write about students in elementary, middle, or high school, then you’ve had to consider how to write grade numbers: eighth grade? 8th grade? Grade 8? Which is right? Should there be a hyphen? In APA Style, the rules for presenting numbers apply to the presentation of grade numbers. Grade + a Numeral When the word grade is followed by a numeral, always capitalize grade and use a numeral for the grade number. Ordinal Number + Grade When writing a grade in its ordinal form, use words for Grades 1–9 and numerals for Grades 10, 11, and 12. However, if an ordinal number 10 or above starts a sentence, then use words. Also, if you are writing four or more grades in the same sentence, then use numerals for all of them. Hyphens With Grade Numbers Use a hyphen with a grade number when the ordinal form is used as a compound adjective before a noun. If several ordinal grades are presented in a series of compound adjectives, then use hyphens with each. Grade Names Without Numbers

Ten important lessons we have learned as pathology bloggers Manchester United Official Web Site - We must do better 23/02/2011 22:21, Report by Adam Bostock Michael Carrick is confident United can reach the Champions League quarter-finals - provided the players improve on a below-par performance in France. The midfielder admitted the Reds' retention and use of the ball was less than impressive, hence the absence of an away goal or even the sniff of one. "We're pretty disappointed with the performance, it just didn't happen for us," said Carrick. "We defended well as a unit, as we've managed to do quite a few times in Europe. "We're confident we can do that but we'll have to play better than tonight. United's hosts Olympique Marseille were themselves far from menacing, even in their own intimidating arena, but Carrick denied the notion they were there for the taking. "It's unfair on Marseille to say this was a winnable game. "It's a different game at home, our record is good there but we'll have to do better than tonight."
