English is such a clusterlamp¹ of a language that I'm sure you're easily forgiven.

1, 2, and 3 are the only numbers that get a unique ordinal indicator. Why? I suppose "oneth", "twoth", and "threeth" are just awkward to say...

¹ Originating in the chatroom League of Gamers on the gaming website Kongregate, the term "lamp" has often been used to replace cuss words.
I missed it here.

aren't they both correct? I have never seen anything that says either one of them is wrong.

"th" is only used for numbers in which the last digit is 0 or 4-9.

23rd is correct.

23rd is used far too many times by too many people to be wrong.

Guys.. there's no reason to post you birthday six months in advance. Besides.. starting tomorrow or the next day you can simply add your birthday in to you profile after which you can simply make happy birthday wishes here when you see it below.

At the bottom of the forum index, there's a list of all Birthdays (none at the moment though).

I expect all of you to give me a cake when my birthday comes around, because you have no excuse not to know.
