"日にちの数え方について教えてください。5日「ごにち」6日「ろくにち」7日「しちにち」8日「はちにち」9日「くにち」と呼ぶのは間違いでしょうか?田
舎では通じていたのですが関東に越して来てよく指摘されます。"
"決して間違いではありません。
しかし普通は5日(いつか)6日(むいか)7日(なのか)8日(ようか)9日(ここのか)と呼びますね。"

jawiki: 6日(むいか、ろくにち)

olicy
if the numbers are in the context of a formula, quantity, measurement, etc. use figures (e.g. 1.5 kilograms);
if the numbers are in something more descriptive or narrative, in general use words for numbers up to ten (e.g. three kings, 
five flowers), and figures for numbers over ten (e.g. 147 angels). In some cases, such as the 三十三所 entry, "thirty-three 
temples" looks more natural than "33 temples".

I'll use roman numerals for the glosses for days 1-10 for consistency

include ろくにち[ik]?
