Actually, lmi uses zero-based ordinals elsewhere, eg, on the "Reports" tab:
  Column 0
  Column 1
  ...
(and implicitly, I would say, within the input-sequence grammar), so my
preference would be to maintain consistent usage (and therefore not apply
this patch). But if wx has a function to transform an int to an ordinal
string that cannot be confused with a cardinal number, eg:
  "Invalid keyword \"%s\" on %s row.", value.c_str(), OrdinalOf(row + 1));
  row=0 --> "1st"
  row=1 --> "2nd"
  ...
then I wouldn't object to using that. (The high-scoring answer here:
