Another
common error is using ‘st’ / ‘nd’/ ‘rd’/ ‘th’ after the Roman numerals- like
Ist/ IInd/ IIIrd/ IVth.
They are
ordinal numbers that indicate their position or order in relation to other
numbers. According to Roman numerals, ‘I’ means first and ‘II’ means second.
There is no need for the addition of ‘st’ / ‘nd’/‘rd’/ or /‘th’. If you write
‘page II’, it does not mean page two; it means page second. This error is found
in very important official documents as well as in posters and hoardings. When
something is visually seen again and again, it gets registered in the brain.
We commonly use words such as ‘brunch’, ‘motel’,
‘Tanglish’ etc. What is the name given to such words? Why?
brunch- Breakfast and lunch... yes aunty,You taught us one day.After seeing this post i learnt a lot from Internet..thanks
