For a long time, I divided people into three categories -- taller than me, about my height, shorter than me, with the last bucket by far the biggest.
I found out at one point that my husban groups people into four height categories: children and little people, short, about his height, and really bloody tall. Since he's 6'3", "really bloody tall" is about 6'6" and up, and "short" is anybody below 6'.
. . . I have tried to explain to him that his yardstick is a bit skewed. :-P Most of us consider over 6' to be pretty tall, and our female friend who's 5'8" is not, in fact, short.
