Hey, check this one out:

Changes the numerals to A: ast and ard
rearange spaces: a standard
all other ordinal numbers end in th, so could this be deliberate?
No, that is called looking for meaning where there is none. Also, the choice of changing numbers to "a" is an arbitrary decision on your part. Do 1 = a, 2 = b, 3 = c, and you end up with nothing.
oh cool... never noticed that!

notced it by myself, which is why I wondered if it was deliberate on the part of those who chose the ordinal numbers
I seriously doubt that anyone "chose" the ordinal numerals; I'm sure they evolved out of usage and language. You're displaying the classical human mind's obsession with finding and identifying patterns, even when there are no patterns to be found.
