Ways to tell them apart:

- Heighth is a non-standard variant sometimes used in certain dialects or by individuals who are unaware of the correct spelling.
- Remember that height is spelled similarly to weight and depth in maintaining standard usage.
- The -th at the end of heighth might seem logical to some speakers because of similar words like width, but it is incorrect.
- Think of height as analogous to the word eight plus an h at the beginning.
