I am not correcting you in no way. I know that you did it for quick typing. It's just funny that I never noticed it.

Actually, they are spelled the same, "second". "2nd" is just an abbreviation for the "second" that means between first and third. "Second" is also used in navigation as a breakdown of longitude and latitude, and is part of GPS coordinates, as is "minute", which if pronounced "My Newt", also means very small.
