Date normalization

[c-arvind]

Hi I tried using your normalizer for help in calculating WER for my personal use case.

I have a ground truth like so:
JUNE THIRD EIGHTEEN SEVENTY ONE OBOCOCK BROTHERS BANK AT CORYDON IOWA WAS ROBBED OF FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS BY SEVEN MEN IN BROAD DAYLIGHT
and my predicted text (using whisper base.en) like so:
June 3, 1871, Hobacock Brothers Bank at Croix d'Inneil was robbed of $40,000 by seven men in broad daylight.

The issue is that if i normalize the ground truth then it converts $40k to the numeric amount as well as '7 men' however the first date is printed as 'June 3rd' and if i normalize the predicted text then the numbers stay in numeric form

Thanks for reporting this issue @c-arvind. From what I understand the issue is that:

Instead of June 3rd you would want the output as June third

Let me see if we can do anything to normalize dates.
