Usage notes

 * The ordinary plural of the unit of measurement is, but in some contexts, itself may be used ("he is six foot two"). This is a reflex of the Anglo-Saxon (Old English) genitive plural. In the UK, however, foot is colloquially used as a plural in all contexts for the unit of measure, even where such usage would not be natural in other varieties of English.
 * It is sometimes abbreviated ', such as in tables, lists or drawings.
 * It is sometimes abbreviated ', such as in tables, lists or drawings.
