| Topic | Weird question for UK/Austr. CEmen: Do you call months by their ordinal number? |
| VanananaHeyHey 06/28/21 11:12:26 AM #4: | MrMallard posted... Yeah, like "twenty second of April" or "ninth of August". That's how we do dates over here.But they're not saying "twenty-second of April" in these tokens, they say "twenty-second of the fourth." It sounds so contrived and fake to me. Glob posted... You'd only possibly say them both as numbers if you were reading the date written in short hand.So, like "It was six eight twenty-twenty" or something? I'm used to that, that's normal. But this is specifically referring to months with their ordinal numbers like it's a normal thing. Calling November "the eleventh" in casual speech stuff. I think it's just running low on ideas; these prompts get repetitive fast. --- Please, call me Vanai. CE's official linguist, War-tor-le and Charizard ... Copied to Clipboard! |
