How do you pronounce height?

[rowrrbazzle]

Are you going to argue with John Milton and the OED?

I might feel no slight delight if I heard "height" pronounced right.

Interesting that “heighth” is current usage in Ireland. The second variant of “height” that OED lists is actually “highth”. Some early usages: So it’s archaic at worst.

But we have an explosion of new words anyway, so why not something as trivial as “heighth”?
