@tanguatlay,

5th anniversary.

Can't say I've ever seen the latter in variation regardless of the context: 5-year anniversary.

#SMH! Horst is an embezzler and a lech! He shouldn't have made his first year anniversary with the firm!

Nice repartee demonstrating the correctness of both phrases.

@tanguatlay,

Good gracious and heaven forfend.

Anniversary, from the Latin annus meaning year and versus meaning turning.

How could one be so tautologically inclined?

In British English we say "fifth anniversary", not 5th, not 5 year, fifth.

Tut, tut.
