I think it's a bit of an exception. I've added a few waffles to that part of the policy.

I agree "thirty-three" looks better here, but I just want to check if we want to make an exception to this rule in the policy before 
aligning the other 三十三所 entries:
"if the numbers are in something more descriptive or narrative, use words for numbers up to ten (e.g. three kings, five flowers), and 
figures for numbers over ten (e.g. 147 angels)."
