Large degrees of freedom displayed with comma #559

Closed Fritz-theCat closed 1 year ago

Fritz-theCat commented 1 year ago

Hello, I noticed that degrees of freedom are rendered with commas separating figures of 1000 or more. This is correct behavior for general numbers, but degrees of freedom are specifically excepted from the rule (https://apastyle.apa.org/instructional-aids/numbers-statistics-guide.pdf). I am unsure if this is new in APA 7 and will be solved in future updates.

dat <- data.frame(a = rnorm(20000, 5, 3),
                  b = rnorm(20000, 4, 4))
test <- t.test(dat$a, dat$b)
apa_test <- papaja::apa_print(test)
apa_test$statistic

I would be happy if anyone could help me with a workaround. Best, Fritz
