| Re: Quick Fire Questions (A Place to Ask and Answer) When talking about a person's height it is often said "Five-foot eight". Though it is perfectly correct to say "Five feet, eight inches". I think when just using the phrase "___________(object)", "foot" is correct, but when adding words or explanation/description, "feet" is used. Basically, feet is used when additional information is being imparted, rather than just "blank foot table". |
