1. May I know, whether it's Ice lemon tea or Iced lemon tree? Many restaurant put the second one on their menus. But my father said the first one is correct. But I think the second one is correct.....

2. There is 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and so on... but do we have 101st, 23rd? Shouldn't it be 101th, 23th? Well, I saw that on the TV advertisement.


Thanks for readin my post. Razz

I would imagine that it doesn't matter much, as a lemon tree that has been frozen will probably die.

Do people actually drink ICED tea?

How uncivilized. Earl Grey, hot, no milk or sugar.

1. Either one is acceptable.

2. The suffixes stay the same, i.e. it's 101st, 233rd etc. Putting a 'th' after 101 would be just silly.

Really?? Then it should be 233rd and 101st. I see. Are you very sure? Just want a confirmation.

Yes. The suffixes represent the sound you make when you say the number - two hundred thirty-third shortens to 233rd, one hundred and first goes to 101st, and so on.

As for the iced tea, I'd say Iced tea with lemon. Here where I live the iced tea comes plain; you have to ask for lemon if you want it.

You have an apostrophe missing in "don't".

Perhaps Nick's first language is not English, but rather Latin...
Quote:
Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum

Which means, "The peace of the Lord be with you always."
Nick, even though you are a cruel and heartless person, I will still respond, "Et cum spiritu tuo," ("And also with you,") even though I'm not Catholic.
