"...increase the sensitivity of MSP to around one alelle in 50 000"'. Should the word 'one' be a figure '1'? I prefer to use figures if above the value of nine or if immediately succeeded by a unit of measurement, unless at the beginning of a sentence in which case I use the word with the unit also spelt-out and not abbreviated. ----Seans Potato Business 20:09, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Are memoirs always plural, or can you have a single memoir? In the article James Cobban it says "In his memoir..." which reads oddly to me. I don't want to chnage it without advise though. -- SGBailey (talk) 20:31, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I need a word that describes an illustration. Such as a picture of a shark playing pool, is a Pool Shark. Not a rebus, an ideogram or a pictogram. Any suggestions. MaMaxMaMax (talk) 23:24, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
