I had this problem as a junior dev when my english was weaker. The problem stems from that 'height' is spelled with 'ht', but width with 'th'. Since one often write those words in conjunction, it is easy to mix the endings up. If you're then a non-native speaker and don't run spellcheck on your code, you might end up writing 'lenght' and 'heigth' quite a few times, I know I did :)
