| 1. | Heighth | ||
|
This is not a word, even though everyone in southern California uses it. The correct word is "Height." Don't combine width and height into heighth. That's just wrong. I will stab you in the eye. Measure the heighth and width of that board, and then cut it up into little pieces that fit inside my mouth.

Word used all the time by ignorant people in southern ca, and maybe beyond. Incorrect pronunciation of the simple word 'height.' Immediately makes you look about 30 IQ points dumber as soon as you say it. "What's the heighth of the highest building you've ever jumped out of?"
"I did a three story building once and only broke my ankle." "Sick man! You should try for 4 next time!" |

Instead of saying 'height', a few people use this 'word'. Firpo: What is the heighth of this building? It's gotta be close to the record.
Morris: I don't think that I'd be going out on a limb by saying that 'heighth' isn't in any dictionaries. |

| 5. | Heighth | ||
|
archaic, awkward sounding, yet still correct from of the word "height." Formed by adding the "-th" suffix onto the word "high." Formerly spelled "highth." People who think they're smart by correcting people who say, "heighth" end up sounding stupid when they realize that "heighth" is an acceptable pronunciation.
