2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Actual size is supposed to be 1.5
  • I think this is an excellent time to point out that curl quotes (“ ”) are what are typographically used for quotations and apostrophes and hash marks (" ') are what are used for feet and inches. So it would look something like:
