Hi,

  • What are the exception adverbs?

  • Do we use "How manyeth" in English?

The only thing Google has on "adverbs of exception" or "exception adverbs" is your post. Can you give us an example of a sentence or phrase which you think might include one? We don't use "how manyeth" in English.

You mean as in, "Barack Obama is the howmanyeth president of the U.S.?" No, we don't. This seems to be a significant gap in the English language, and the question comes up here every few months. Sorry!

Sounds like the usage must exist in the first language of some of our members. I wonder which languages?

Is there any significance in the fact that you mentioned "umpteenth" right after the mention of kids?
