Outlook calendar: Syntax for describing meeting series is off

When I set up a meeting series to occur on the fourth Wednesday of each month, for example, the calendar invite defaults to read "Occurs every fourth Wednesday." This is incorrect. The problem is more obvious if the meeting falls on, say, the second Wednesday (or whatever day) of the month. The invite then reads "Occurs every second Wednesday." No it does not! "Occurs on the second Wednesday monthly" is what it should read. Please fix!!!

  • From View → Change View → List, check whether all instances are consistent. The key is to cancel the use of natural language in the calendar options to avoid automatic formatting.

      Thanks for the suggestion but I don't have the View -> Change View option in the New Outlook, and couldn't find anything related in Settings.
