[edit]5th–8th place
[edit]Which form is correct?
- 5–8th place semifinals
- 5th–8th place semifinals
In Wikipedia articles, both versions are used. Even Google is uncertain on this matter. So, what's your opinion? Thanks, Maiō T. (talk) 21:17, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- If you would pronounce it like "five to eighth", you should write "5–8th". If, however, you'd say "fifth to eighth" (as I would), you should write "5th–8th". --Lambiam 23:34, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
