Ordinal Numbers



When we were very young, we learned how to place things in order: first second, third, fourth, fifth, etc. Some of us went on to decorate cakes that wished children a Happy Birthday with their age specified as an ordinal number. But occasionally, the numeric abbreviation for an ordinal gets messed up. Cake Wrecks has eight, count 'em, eight cakes with the ordinals 1th, 2th, and 3th. http://www.cakewrecks.com/home/2011/9/14/we-need-more-rooster-tears.html

They say a pita is a sandwich under this definition. How does that work? A pita only has one exterior piece, and the filling goes into the pocket. And would a McDLT from the 1980s, served as two open-faced sandwiches that you put together yourself ("keep the hot side hot and the cool side cool"), mean that McDonald's wasn't actually selling a sandwich?
