I will announce it to the world right now that I am not an English major. In fact our blog is littered with grammar and puncuation errors but this doesn't stop me from pointing out one of my pet peeves: The use of the word HEIGHTH.
I was somehere the other day when I was asked, "What is your heighth?" I wanted to reply "5'4" and would you like my weighth as well?"
Heighth is no longer a word, people!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!! Posts like this make my day :o)
I wonder how many people failed basic grammar?
Height is the Noun form of High.
The noun form of weigh is weight, the noun form of long is length, and the noun form of wide is width.
I learned this from Mr. Clark in Junior High... Somewhere between Patrick McManus and Ducks Unlimited.
