Description
One of the ways you can speak a common fraction is as an ordinal. For example "2 thirds". MathCAT has rules as to when to do this (numerator less than 10 and denominator between 2 and 20).
ClearSpeak has a number of preferences that were designed for authors to control speech. "Ordinal" and "Over" are two of them for fractions. For elementary math, something like
At the moment, we don't have a core concept for this other than the generic "fraction" concept. To me, these two seem like properties.
There are maybe other properties (or concepts) that people think should be added. For people's benefits, below are all the ClearSpeak preferences (copied from MathCAT). The default value ("Auto") follows the name, and the alternative values are listed in the comments (after the #
