seyfihoca  +  75117 Sat, 19 Feb 05 09:48 PM Hello How can we ask a question to learn the rank of George Bush Jr. in the list of American presidents? I hope it is not that easy, or I will be really embarrassed. Thank you seyfihoca Joined on Thu, Jan 20 2005 Turkey/Eskisehir Full Member 109 Dil Sınavlarına Hazırlık Merkezi

If so (and I think there is already a lengthy thread on this topic buried somewhere): 'Which President/What number President is George W. Bush?' (he is not G.B, Jr., by the way-- his father's name is different: Geo. H.W. Bush.) There were several other answers to this one, as I recall.

	seyfihoca  +  75257 Sun, 20 Feb 05 11:32 AM That is what I meant. Thank you. By the way, here in Turkey, papers mention the former Bush ans "father Bush". So I thought we can call him "Junior Bush". Thanks anyway. seyfihoca

	Mister Micawber  +  75278 Sun, 20 Feb 05 02:30 PM You could try, Pieanne-- I would understand you, certainly. 'Junior', if it is used, is a formal part of the given name, Seyf: John Smith (who can change his signature to 'John Smith, Sr.' when his namesake is born) John Smith, Jr. (John Smith Sr.'s son) John Smith III (John Jr.'s son) John Smith IV (and so forth) I believe that 'John Smith II' is reserved for John Sr.'s nephew or other lateral relative.
