I've heard this said, and seen this in plenty of codebases. `let width = 10, heighth = 10`
Its intuitive match to "width" makes me wonder why it ever became "incorrect."
- brookst 2y agoToo many aitches + four consonants in a row. It just looks weird.
- SamBam 2y agoThat's probably the reason for eliminating the written word. Saying "width and heighth" still sounds pretty reasonable (I have to stop myself from saying it), and I hear it all the time.
- brookst 2y agoGood catch. I do say "heighth" but spell it "height." It's like the opposite of a silent H; an invisible H or something.
