Ordinal numbers are still numbers and he didn't specify which kind he wanted. I gave ordinals because that's how amendments are usually refered to.

Nah, the text said "eightteenth article of amendment". 18th article of which amendment? It did not say, but I assumed that it was given by the surrounding context. I know this may be insulting to some, but the US constitution is nothing I read daily. Or at all. So I don't feel bad for misreading it. -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |
