There is no such word as "heighth". The word is "height" and ends with a "t" sound, not a "th" sound!

I never heard it pronounced with "th". I wonder if that's a regional pronunciation.

Spigot is not pronounced "Spikot".

Oops. Guilty.

If you are hearing thunder, it is thundering. But if you're seeing lightning, why isn't it lightninging?

My dad and grandad said that one. I think It was poor grammar that was once common many years ago. Read a tom sawyer novel and you will see all kinds of poor grammar that you will never see today.

width, length, and heighth...the three dimensions of any object in a three dimensional world.
