    I am definitely 5’11" and 3/4" and I definitely don’t report it as 5’11" no one is going to pull out a measuring tape on me.

      im 5’11" and some change and would just say six if people asked and my brother got so mad when he found our I was shy of six as he thought I was taller. I like dude. im not memorizing whatever fraction is after five eleven. I guess I could say 5 eleven instead but that same laziness that does not want to remember some fraction also prefers to answer with one word.

        Oddly, i had the same argument with my brother in law.

        I’m 6’2", but I always say I’m around 6’1" or 6’2", so I don’t blow up any 5’11"s cover. My BL who is very clearly 3-4" shorter than me tried to convince me that I’m 6’4", because he is exactly 6 foot. He got super upset, like red in the face, temper tantrum.

          Yeah, there’s that too. At this point I’m old enough that only my kids report my former height and I try to stay out of it. I’m pretty sure I’m noticeably shorter. It doesn’t help that I’ve lost core muscle and have correspondingly worse posture so appear shorter

      I mean, if it’s 11.75 inches, then you should be rounding up anyways…
