Talk:third

The ordinal numbers from "third" upwards can also be nouns (the names of the fractions 1/3, etc). These need to be added.

I suggest also standardising the short forms (some are shown with superscript suffices (eg, 3rd) others not (eg, 11th).

Verb form?
If we can "half" or "quarter" something, why can't we "third" it? (OK, the former is an obsolete form and is more usually rendered as "halve", but it still exists, and makes the pattern more elegant!) Just wondering… HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 10:04, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
