Cardinal numbers refer to the size of a set. (10 apples in a basket) Ordinal numbers refer to the order of elements in a set (third apple put into the basket) you can rearrange an ordered set and retain the same cardinality (ten apples in the basket) but you’d change the order of the elements (switch the third and sixth apple).

The floor number you’re on is an ordinal number. You can rearrange the elements while retaining the cardinality of the set, (the total number of floors does not change) but the order of the set is changed (the third floor is switched with the sixth floor).

Hope that clears up the confusion. Have a nice day.

Cardinal refers to number, while ordinal refers to sequence. Both American & British systems are ordinal, since changing the order of the floor numbers would make no sense. If they were cardinal, the order would be irrelevant.

Personally, I prefer the American system, since the bottom floor is what you enter on, and is therefore the first floor you interact with.

Fahernhaters are always like, “nooo!! 40 degrees is so hot!!” Meanwhile, the fahrenchad’s resting body temperature is nearly 2.5 times hotter. All fahernhaters would die at that temperature.

Which one is cooler? Cause I’m that one.

That is so kind of you to say. Thank you!

I deliberately create characters which have an interesting dynamic with other player’s characters.

That either tells you nothing about me, or everything about me.

Would you prefer it if the meme contained all the suicide hotlines for every country?

I always find it very funny when someone suggests anarcho-something as a solution to all of capitalism’s problems. How exactly do you plan to enforce that? Do you think social pressure & shunning will do anything more than create a class of extremists with an oppositional philosophy?

This feels a lot like ‘Come to Brazil!’
