A) the united states ranked 1st in bloomberg's global innovation index B) the united states ranked the 1st. When is it proper to use 1st instead of first For example, is the correct sentence acceptable Can you give more detail about why you 1st got involved I tried finding some authoritative source.
For example 9th 3rd 301st what do we call these special sounds? So, should i say negative oneth index or negative first index Is there a way to avoid this problem altogether. When were numeric contractions for ordinals first used, as in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th instead of first, second, third, sixth? I just realized that i’ve never needed to use 31th or 31st in my four years english study So which one is correct, and what about other alternatives
In british english, the floor of a building which is level with the ground is called the ground floor The floor above it is called the first floor, the floor above. A concise way to put it would be placegetter or placed In the uk, australia and new zealand, placed would be understood to be in the top three My understanding is a place in the us means first or second Medallist / medalled (uk spelling) or medalist / medaled (us spelling) might work if a medal was awarded
Or april 1st when it comes to numerical date values, this can get trickier due to audience In the us, we always list the month first in a numerical date (4/1 or 4/1/2016), but for most of the rest of the world, the day of the month comes first, followed by the month (1/4 or 1/4/2016) Iso standards follow a different format Using the cipher (0) as an interval indicator is rare and confusing You're probably better thinking laterally, and using the column heading 'pref' or 'ung' say.
