height.  Yes, say it out loud.  Do you say heighT or do you say heigTH.  The correct pronounciation is height.  Like you would say eight.  Most people say heigTH because that is the way length and width end.  

RE: Fill in the blank... Length, width...

I say depth.

Consequently, I have no clue what you are talking about.

RE: Fill in the blank... Length, width...

I also can say depth an if I hold my tongue just-so, I can say height as in Horace Height and his brother Gazoon.
