Apart from 8 which should be a nine I agree on that. If someone is 8 years old, she is in her 9th year, I would say. And what do you say? I get the impression that your fractional ordinals depend on your definition of numbers followed by a dot. OK, but we should be aware that you are off by 1, once and a while. R.E.
