do you have an example of where you've seen "heighth" before to make you think that that's a possibility?

People say "heighth" as part of a regional dialect. I hear it here from time to time-- "We measured your heighth to be 5 foot 9." I've never EVER seen it spelled that way... it's just a different way some people pronounce it.

Now I have an idea for a new thread.
It has to do with "what's the dumbest thread you've ever seen on ATOT?"

I saw "heighth" when I was reading "A clockwork Orange" this week, but that word is not used today, just like you wouldn;t use"breadth".

WTF are you people talking about? Breadth is used regularly.
