Y'know, I always thought that was goofy PA National Guard thing. It's also right up there with "heighth. One thing I've recently been wondering: in the stone business, stone oft is sold by linear feet, but some say lineal... lineal is a word, but means "being in the direct line, as a descendant or ancestor, or in a direct line, as descent or succession" as opposed to linear which means "involving measurement in one dimension only; pertaining to length: linear measure." Are both usages correct in this context, or am I right to beat people with bamboo sticks when they say lineal feet?
