so … 9th is spelled “ninth”
why is it not spelled “nineth”? “ninth” should sound so different … sounds like some sort of outer-land from middle earth …
the english language never truly makes sense.
according to Google, 310,000 spelled 9th wrong … including information about the “Nineth Day of Christmas”
Also, why is “eighth” pronounced “eitth”? It should be pronounced “eith”:
e – e
i – i
gh – silent
th – th
Or at least, it should be written eightth.
