Confession, maybe someone can help me.
Has anyone ever seen the movie This is Spinal Tap?
The whole Stonehenge scene has completely messed me up. I saw the movie 25 years ago and I'm still confused which mark is feet and inches. Is ' feet and " inches! Or vice versa?
I just responded to a post and typed in 5 ft 5 in because I don't know which marks to use.
Anyone?
Clip in case you have no idea of what I'm talking about.

Here is how to remember it:
Feet is the shorter word so it gets one mark like this: '
Inches is the longer word so it gets two marks like this: ''
I'm: 5'3'' tall.0
