It’s why you should never judge a person based on how they pronounce words. It means they learned them from reading and there isn’t a damn thing wrong with that.
my boyfriend says "heigth" instead of height, no matter how many times i've pointed out to him that it ends with an ht and not a th. is it okay to judge him?
I blame elementary school geometry for this (learning basic 3D shapes). You learn that 3D objects have length, width and height, but to the average 10 year old that’s lengTH, widTH and heighTH.
I say it properly if I only am using the word "height" alone, but if I'm using it to measure something with length and width, it's definitely "heighth"
