Heighth or height?
I cringe every time I here a machinist on youtube say heighth. I was just watching Robin Renzeti and he said heighth. I nearly fell out of my chair.
From the interwebs google verse:
The noun form of broad is breadth, the noun form of long is length, and the noun form of wide is width. Because of this, some people follow the pattern and sayheighth, with a th at the end of the word high. That is not standard English. The correct form is height.
Lets here what you all have to say about this.
