Question on April 29, 2024
Answer
Also, we wouldn't use the long title before the name. Instead:
“We are thrilled to open our first location with Brame Brands,” Jake Berchtold, president and COO of FAT Brands' Fast Casual Division, said in a press release.
For that matter, we would paraphrase rather than use the direct quote, which is not a compelling quote. But that's a different issue.
Question from San Miguel, California, on April 29, 2024
Answer
We make that clarification in the revised introduction to the numerals entry. The guidance itself hasn't changed, but we tried to explain it more clearly.

- For ages (of people, animals, events or things)
- When preceding a unit of measure (inches, pounds, miles, quarts, temperature degrees, etc.) — except for time measurements
- In other cases listed below

Question from Wilmington, Delaware, on April 29, 2024
Answer
Yes, we spell out numbers under 10 in general. But there are lots of exceptions.
We also generally spell out ordinals (such as fourth) but there are exceptions to that, as well. Dates aren't listed as an exception because we typically don't write May 4th (instead, just May 4.) See below for that section of the numerals entry.
I think I'd go with May the 4th be with you. That's in keeping with our general guidance on dates. It's also how the Star Wars folks style it themselves.
