      imo their move to invent the word and then claim it's "fake" and "not a real word" is quite esquivalient. They brought it to life, now it's on them. They've got to take care of it. There's no such thing as uninventing a word once it's out.

      That would make sense, but languages don't work that way. English decided to take a lot of suffixes from the vikings, but words used too often never got the change. This is why we have 'rabbitS', 'cowS', and 'oxEN', and why first, second, and third are all different, but everything after that ends with 'th'. English started out as one of those weird tribal languages with way too many rules, and has been fighting against the streamlining process ever since.

      Though quite a few weird things in English have to do with Vikings, "third" probably isn't one of them.
      It comes from Old English _thridda_ (or _þridda_), which is roughly equivalent to "threeth", but along the way the _i_ and the _r_ got switched around (something linguists call "metathesis") making into "third". Interestingly (if you're the type to find historical linguistics interesting), the same thing happened with "bird", which was _bridd_ in Old English. (The same thing happened with "burn" and "burst" among other words.)
      Also interestingly (again, ymmv), these words are just part of a whole pattern of such metatheses which generally began in the Northumbrian dialect of Old English and worked their way south until they became part of the standard language. (So, it is possible that the metathesis was somehow related to Viking influences, taking us full circle...)
