Incorrect spelling, explanation: this form is incorrect because ordinal numbers short form are created with abbreviations of the actual, spoken form. This means, if we say third, the last two letters are the suffix of the ordinal number: 3rd. -th is the ending of other ordinal numbers, but not all of them. This is the reason why the correct form is 3rd, and not 3th.
Correct spelling, explanation: 3rd is the correct form because the full-written form is third. In ordinal numbers, the last two letters are the abbreviation added to a number form, for example first = 1st, fifteenth = 15th. The same rule applies to third, which in short, number, form is written as 3rd. This is why 3th is wrong; it simply doesn’t exist.
Definition of 3rd:
numeral, the ordinal number between 2nd and 4th
We were so happy we got 3rd! At least we were on the podium!
Take the 3rd turn left and the cinema is on your right.

Oh hey the big number calculator says 3th which I thought for a certain period of time and it is still going on and no I am not kidding
Yes, thanks so much for correcting me but I thought 3th was funnier and seemingly-like questioning but anyway on Big Number Calculator I thought it was 3th for my first time
But I do like 3th most because it is what I am starting to use so I say 3th 13th 23th so on
5th
3rd to 30 tin
14 tin
Yes, 13th is correct, but 3th is not, it should be like this:
3rd – third
13th – thirteenth
I could read in a book (Around the world in Eighty days) “December 13th”
It’s the first time I read something like that.
Is it possible to use this “3th”?
Thanks so much
