The rounding of years from an age given in a newspaper story is why I typically specify "circa" (c.) with the presumed year of birth in such cases. This still conveys the information, but makes it clear it's not 100% certain. --[[User:Lkseitz|Lkseitz]] 10:48, 2 May 2008 (PDT) |

Numbered street names
Do we make an exception when the street name starts a sentence? I was taught to spell out numbers when they start a sentence, but I imagine that varies depending on the style guide used, which is what this page is as far as BhamWiki goes. --Lkseitz 06:50, 17 November 2006 (PST)
