Incorrect spelling, explanation: 22th is an incorrect form because every number which ends with 2 has the suffix nd in its ordinal form. -th is added to every number except 1, 2, and 3 (their suffixes are respectively -st, -nd and -rd). This is why the correct ordinal form of 22 is 22nd.
Correct spelling, explanation: to create an ordinal number from the cardinal one we usually add suffix -th. There are three exceptions, though: for numbers one, two, and three (and all numbers which end with 1,2, and 3). For example, 20 as the ordinal number will be 22nd, but 24 will be 24th. This is why the form 22th is incorrect.
Definition of 22nd:

Happy 22nd monthsary is correct.
Is that correct “happy 22nd monthsary or happy 22th monthsary”
22th
When last digit is 1 we use “st”, when 2 we use “nd”, when 3 we use “rd”, and rest is “th”.
what numbers we use TH like 22th and what number we use ND like 22nd (i know that the nd in the number 22 is the correct)
You just add the last two letters of the word form of the number, e.g., twenty-secoND or 22nd; twelTH or 12th; firST or 1st.
You are referring to ordinal numbers. They go like the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th – 19th. Then you star over. 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24 th-29th. Then star over. 31st, 32nd, 33rd, 34th – 39th, start over etc. 1,243,291st, 1,243,292nd, 1,245,293rd, 1,243,294th, ect. “teens are always th”
But, 20th, 30th, 40th, etc. are pronounced as “ith” because they are spelled differently. Example: twentieth, thirtieth, fourtieth.
always 22nd
should be 22th or 22nd for the employment certificate
My mother language is not English, but I think there is a good way to explain how to decide to use -th, -nd -rd or -st.
The rule is how we write the number in English not in Arabic numbers, like 1st for short of First, 11th for eleventh, 21st for Twenty first.
I hope this can help the people whose mother language is not English.
What is correct 22th or 22nd
Like it, this is a nice information.
I really like your help, are these comparisons prepared using official scholar materials? Would be truly thankful if you would tell me.
