I don't see why you need an article.... unless you need the sheer size
(decimal) or the accuracy (double) you should just use single everywhere you
need a "real" number. Like everything else, this is a tradeoff between
performance and memory usage and the features that your code requires.

Does anyone know of any articles that discuss the best practice for
choosing a numeric data type. I remember seeing a good article in the past,
but can't remember where. I am interested in articles that give advice when
you should choose a 'Single', 'Double' or 'Decimal' and why. I am trying to
push the idea that decimals should not be used everywhere, but I need
articles supporting that position.
