13rd vs 13th

The correct ordinal number is "13th," not "13rd." (However, the correct ordinal number of "3" is "3rd.") It might help you to spell out the number "thirteen", since all numbers ending in "teen" use "th".

This phrase is not correct. Don't use it.

"13rd"

"13rd" is not correct. It would be pronounced as "thirteen-urd", which is not an English word. The correct form is "13th," which is pronounced as "thirteenth".

This phrase is correct.

"13th"

"13th" is an ordinal number, which we use to show order or position in a series. In the word "13th", "th" is added to the number 13 to show it's the 13th item in a row or list. It comes after 12th, but before 14th.
