I've gone ahead and removed most of them already. Just letting you know for the future. Oh, I thought we were keeping those. The rule change was really vague and I thought I saw you adding them after it. Thanks. From what I recall of the vote, they're to be kept on ordinal series, such as "x is the nth rank", but not to be done in superscript. As for dates however, for grammatical correctness they aren't to be included at all. Additionally, for ordinal properties less than 10, e.g. first through ninth, it's better to spell it out rather than "1st through 9th". This is just for simplicity in reading. Got to love grammar rules
