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? 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.
You're probably better thinking laterally, and using the column heading 'pref' or 'ung' say. As others have specified, the word by is generally synonymous with no later than when referring to a date or time There are multiple ways to express this in competitions 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place, 1st prize, 2nd prize, etc In your example it may help to say how many were competing, because if you came in 3rd place out of three, that is quite different that third place out of 100, or however many. 8 i wanted to know, while writing dates such as 1st april or 2nd march
Do we need to superscript the st and the nd as 1 st april and 2 nd march, or is it ok to write them without the superscript formatting When to use superscript for dates and when not to use it I couldn't find any guidance regarding this in my style manual.
