yaghoob, you ask a lot of questions about the meanings of words without apparently having made any effort to look them up in dictionaries.

I have told you this before.

However, when giving someone's height, people will say six foot tall.

In the U.S. we would say "The guy is six feet tall" but "He's a six-foot-tall guy."

Weird.
