Wy SARQUaoN JOHNSON
Coasaltiog Editor New Unfanlties Dictionary
One of the most common errors
in our language is the mispronun
ciation of the word "height."
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
