Danke Dir, Quarz.
Ich habe auch dunkel im Hinterkopf, dass man das so macht. Ich bin aber dennoch verunsichert:
- weil es subjektiv im Schriftbild ruhiger, also schöner ausssieht, wenn man es gar nicht hochstellt/auszeichnet.
- weil man es im Internet (klar, da geht korrekte Typografie nur schwer) häufig nicht hochgstellt sieht.
So, jetzt gehe ich doch nochmal genauer auf die Suche.
[1] Wikipedia sagt:
"The suffixes -th, -st, -nd and -rd are
occasionally written superscript above the number itself." (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_numerals)
[2] Und hier:
Ordinal indicators are sometimes written as superscripts (1st, 2nd, 3rd rather than 1st, 2nd, 3rd)
(superscript in copy and paste verloren gegangen), although many English-language style guides recommend against this use. ...(

[3] AHAA! Hier:
In the Victorian period these indicators were superscripts (2nd, 34th) under general French influence especially on British English, but by the late 20th century formatting them on the line was favored.[citation needed] Since the 1990s the superscript style has been revived somewhat because some word processors format ordinal indicators as superscripts as the default setting.

Ok, case closed.
