Thank you for clarifying. Now it makes sense.

It's actually correct grammar. Numbers under 10 like six are spelled out, and numbers over 10 are written as numbers. English is dumb sometimes. Edit: at least for publishing.

English is dumb most of the time, what is that b doing at the end of the word dumb?

I totally get that. It just annoyed me lol

I think it depends on the style guide used.

Some say to use words for single digit numbers and numerals for the rest (including 10).

But I like the consistency in you're suggestion.
