Correct spelling

62nd

Correct spelling, explanation: this form is the correct one because nd is the ending for ordinal number second. Therefore every number which ends with a second will have this ending – just like 62nd. This means 62nd is the correct form and 62th is incorrect.

Definition of 62nd:
