Listen in on almost any conversa tion where that word is used that is, where any degree of education, high or "low, is represented and about nine times out of ten you hear "height" mispronounced. How does it happen? I don't know. I've been watching it for years, and I've given up. The one and only correct way to pronounce the word "height" is "hite" ; but invariably it is mispro nounced with a "th" at the end, the same as "width." The word in itself is simple enough, and there is no excuse for trying to mate another word of it. Nobody ever mispronounces such words as "light," "flight," "right," and "might." All of these words end in "ht," as do many similar words. I never have heard any body say "lighth," "flighth," or "righth," but most of them do say heighth." . - It is well to natch the "th" in luch words as 'length," "breadth," and others ending in "th." Many sre likely to slight the full pronuneistioo of the "th," some saying "lengt," "dept." etc., and yet thote same people will give stress to th" at the end of "height," where it doesn't belong. Don't be shy in correcting; such mis takes when vou hear your friends make them. Of coune you'll be care ful not to offend. Make it a practice to watch yourself, as well as your friends, for errors in speaking and writing. Leading op to such a practice, the New Universities Dictionary will be found invsluable.
