14. 31st, etc. are the correct options. When you use ordinal numbers ending in 1, you use first. The only exception is eleventh, because although it ends in 1 its “name” doesn’t contain the word “one” like 21, 31, etc. Share. Improve this answer. edited Aug 1, 2012 at 22:38.

And also thank you for telling me about the dead line for the income tax returns of your country, which is very interesting. In my country, the dead line for income tax returns ...
Jan 26, 2020 · The difference is a pure matter of style . Writing the 'th' in miniature as superscript is a long-established convention, used, I imagine, to create a visible distinction between between the written word thirteenth and the corresponding 13 th. Well, you can see one of the main reasons for using the ordinary 'th' and its superscript sibling: for ...
