12nd
Incorrect spelling, explanation: 12nd is incorrect because the full word twelfth is spelled with the suffix th at the end, not nd. Suffix nd is added to these ordinal numbers that end with it when pronounced, thus to numbers including second (for example fifty-second; 52nd).
12th
Correct spelling, explanation: this numeral form of the word twelfth is correct because the suffix th is connected to pronunciation. There is no nd suffix at the end of the full-written word. Therefore 12th is correct and 12nd is wrong.
