Hi All,

It is really cool to see sites like this. Hats off to all the brain behind it.

I generally come across situations to use the word ‘whicheth’ but go with ‘order number’ , ‘which position’ etc as english dictionaries do not list the word. Have anybody similar feelings?

Joe.

Well,

That’s a very good point. In fact, I’m finding it difficult to think of an elegant way to ask that question.

According to the chronological order what position does President Clinton hold?
Can anyone else come up with a better example?

Thanks in advance

We still have nd and rd for chronical numbers. What do you think about them? What number is mr. X president? would be my suggestion. The answer would probably be …number five. Just remember that we’re all responsible for making the English simpler and simpler to make it more and more international and last long.
