February THIRD!! NOT THREE!

When did ‘February 3rd’ (Third) turn into ‘February 3′ (Three)?

Every-time I see the movie trailer for ‘Man on a Ledge’ the voice over guy advises that it will be released ‘February Three‘  and it makes me cringe! I do hope it doesn’t catch on as there’s nothing at all wrong with using 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th 5th, 6th etc; with dates.

Where will it end?

Recognise these TV and Movie titles easily?

  • ‘Three Rock from the Sun’
  • ‘Beethoven’s Two’
  • ‘The Four Kind’
  • ‘The Five Element’
  • ‘The Six Day’

Is it another Americanism that will plague the english language soon?
