Incorrect spelling

22st

Incorrect spelling, explanation: creating ordinal numbers in English is confusing as a number of users have a problem with the correct ending. Most ordinal numbers have the -th ending, e.g. fifth, tenth, etc., but the first three numbers are different as they are the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. The same happens with 22, which as the ordinal number is 22nd. Some users forget about it and spell 22nd as 22st, which is wrong.
