Question for all those grammar nazi's out there

[Chu]

You want to know which president, as in 41st, 42nd, 43rd, etc. was Linden Johnson. You are asking someone who has no context i.e. something like a librarian. Which is the most correct way to ask? If other, please give a suggestion.

No, Howard.

At the beginning of his presidency, so many Americans had reservations that it was thought he couldn't possibly find the rooms to accomodate us all, but he did, and we loved him for it.

Nazis, not nazi's.

I just can't understand how people can leave school without a knowledge of apostrophe usage, and then go through life consciously avoiding and ignoring any advice people try to give you on how to use them.

You never need to use an apostrophe to signify a plural of something.

I'm guessing 'which ordinal president' is pretty close to correct, but if you actually want an answer, try saying 'what number president'
