Has anyone else noticed that more and more people are pronouncing "height", which rhymes with "bite", as as "high-th" It's like the brain is locking into the idea of height and width, and giving both a soft "th" sound. This needs to stop! Who's with me? We need to protect our English language. <---- Inserted to deliberately iron those who find the statement ironic.
