I recently started trying to use voice recognition software (Dragon) for
writing reports. It's actually quite good, but that number thing can be
annoying. It seems to be programmed to use the spelled out version for
anything less than ten, so if I dictate "three in ten", it will transcribe
it exactly as you wrote it, "three in 10".

This follows the style rule The Associated Press
promulgated (not necessarily first) before 1940.
