The
following two tables show the result of a Google search.
The first one shows that ordinals are used also beyond
the hundred even though rather rarely. The second one
shows that the substitution is used as well. It seems
- anything goes :-)
Now the substitution of the ordinal numbers by cardinal
numbers.
Since we can't find a definite solution to the question
how common it is to use the ordinal number beyond 10
(or 100) and how often it is substitute we'd rather
have a look at the following table which shows the ordinal
numbers from 100 to 1,000,000.
