Technically, I'm not 5 foot 5. I'm 5 foot 4 3/4.

But....that's not the lie

People who are 1/4 inch below a certain height almost always round it off to the whole number.

Like....if you're actually 5 foot 11 3/4, instead of exactly 6 feet, most people would accept it when you say you're 6 feet.

If that were me I'd just say the 5 foot 11/34 instead. Actually, at the end of 8th grade that's how tall I was. At the end of 9th I was 6 feet. I've stayed 6 feet ever since.

Ok new guess: the third option.

Yes and every doctor that has measured me comes up with PRECISELY 6 feet.

This is not a ribald thread.....but there's a certain measurement where it would not be of benefit to me if I would "round it off to the nearest whole number."

What it is....I shall not disclose
