MS Lync (chat/instant message) thinks that after the digit is an acceptable place for a line break in "1st" and "2nd". I don't. It looks like the next line starts with the words "st" or "nd", which don't make sense. The stray digits ending the preceding line don't make sense either. And who ever heard of breaking a word and leaving a single character by itself? And you would never break up a number; these are
ordinal numbers.
