Usage notes

 * Some numbers undergo a change in spelling:, , , . See -eth
 * Use of this suffix with numbers ending in, , or is occasionally heard in speech, particularly in forming fractions  but is considered highly nonstandard.
 * In older texts, this suffix, and the other suffixes for forming ordinals, may be seen written as superscripts: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th. This is considered old-fashioned; the current preference is to write (when not spelling the numbers), 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th.
 * When used to suffix a mathematical expression, a hyphen is sometimes inserted: $$n$$-th term.
