ASL handles ordinals in a variety of ways.
English uses "-st", "-nd", "-rd", and "-th" suffixes to create ordinal
numbers.
ASL does not use "-st", "-nd", "-rd" to create ordinal numbers.
ASL does on occasion use the suffix "-th" by adding a fingerspelled "TH" after a
number when doing so significantly clarifies the message.
If your meaning is clear without adding "th" to your number -- don't add it.
Example: February 22nd = "FEB 22"
It is unlikely to ever see: "FEB 22TH"
----------------------------------------------------
Next part of this discussion is: Are there situations when we are likely to use
the ordinal form of 22 in ASL? For example consider these sentences:
"Who was the 22nd president of the U.S.?" *
"The 22-year-old runner, number 22, came in 22nd at 2 minutes and 22 seconds.
What was the 22nd state to be admitted to the union?
