First day is not 1 day or second day is not 2 day #70

Hi,

We can't really use "First day as 1 day or second day as 2 day" in real life context. For this reason we can't use this wonderful library.

Please leave them as they are or think of an alternative. Temporarily, give us an exception list option.

I think it would make sense to allow specifying via parse parameter types of numbers to convert (i.e. those for which we provide specific functions: ordinal, fraction, etc.).

Hi!

Can we have First as 1st and then, 1st as first after conversion?

Same goes for 2nd, 3rd,...19th..... and "One" as 1, two as "2"...

If you give us a provision for a user dict, then we can use {"1st":"first","2nd":"second","3rd":"third"}.... and process for the time being...
