Hey, I'm a little confused. I know you are supposed to write out numbers ("one" as opposed to "1"), but what about phone numbers? Specifically 9-1-1. It looks wrong to put "nine one one". Any thoughts?

If it's within dialogue, it's important to write them as they are spoken so there's no confusion for the actor i.e "nine-one-one" as opposed to "nine-eleven".

Write what you want people to say. "nine eleven" or "nine, one, one"
