You can't really add two ordinals. For example, first place plus first place doesn't equal second place. So ordinal addition must involve only one ordinal and at least one cardinal. While preserving of course its different significance from cardinal addition.

Okay, someone ran three races. In the first race they came in first. In the second race, they also came in first. In the third race they came in fourth. What is the everage position they came in? Add the ordinals, divide by the number. You can add ordinals, it's just that the result is meaningless if not taken in context and would usually be done in part of a lager formula. But consider, all numbers are that way anyway. If you have 1 ball of clay and 1 ball of clay and you add them together you have 2, but 2 what? is it 2 balls of clay, or were they merged into one that is twice the mass? All numbers need to be taken into context when used mathematically. -- Jim Langston tazmaster@rocketmail.com
