Topic	Weird question for UK/Austr. CEmen: Do you call months by their ordinal number?
VanananaHeyHey 06/28/21 11:07:00 AM #1:	One of my jobs is with sample tokens of things people are likely to say to a customer service chatbot. In the British and Australian examples (also South Africa, but I don't usually work with that set), we keep getting people saying things like "the fifth of the fourth" to mean "April 5th" or "the seventeenth of nine" to mean "September 17th." Is that real? Do you actually talk like that or are the people generating the phrases just low on ideas? --- Please, call me Vanai.
