Board Thread:Wiki discussion/@comment-25787643-20160731152134

I started this discussion because some people, especially a certain individual, wrongfully delete the ordinals (i.e; -st, -nd, -rd, -th) from the dates on some pages. I want to sort this issue out.

Ordinals should be used when stating that an event occurred on a date.

Examples:
 * This item was released on January 23rd (twenty-third)
 * On the 1st (first) of April...

These are all appropriate to use. However, saying something like-


 * This item was released on November 10 (ten)
 * On the 4 (four) of March...

-is improper English. If it's not how you would pronounce it in real life, you shouldn't spell it that way either. If I'm wrong about this, please let me know but as far as I know, the former is the correct way dates are supposed to be displayed.

That's all.
