'Feet' and 'foot', which to use? Distance and measurement

[sibgakhan]

Is the plural (I think that's what it's called) of foot, in measurements, foot or feet? ex: "The tree is thirty foot/feet high.

[Adil Memon]

[Babban Miyan Ding Dong]

Assalam Alaikum,

It should all be feet...I am pretty sure because I have 4 yrs of experience measuring stuff, we never used a word foot in our school when referring to measurements. Then again, I may be wrong.

Thanks.

Assalam o Alaikum Sibgha

I m a civil Engineer....n as far as plural of foot is concerned we use ft instead of writing full feet.....like ft lb/sec

i think u shud not be having any trouble in believing so many sages....Brother Adil, Sister Tabassum, n all others.....believe me they r like an authority over the subject...

It should all be feet...

Wrong

"50 feet yacht" wrong

"That plane is 300 foot high" (Would mean the plane is 300 feet from top to bottom)

"It's fifty foot to the bottom" (Wrong, must use feet)

Distance use 'feet', size use 'foot or feet' (This doesn't apply if you're talking about something that is one foot away).
