Good morning! How are you? Today I got up just after the crack of dawn, want to know why? Okay, around 5.40 am our house guard gave a phone call. He informed us there was fire in one of our nearest houses. So, you may understand, we just got up and started to get down hurriedly. Usually it was so horrifying and there was no question, we became horridly horrified. It reminds me about the crack of doom.
Anyway, though it is Autumn but we are getting winter-vegetables by this time. Among them radish, cabbage, cauliflower, bean are my favorite. What are your favorite winter-vegetables? Please remember, I prefer reddish colored dress and red colored radish. And, I never forget to put rest of the portion into a litter-bin. Do you know how much water should we drink daily, is it 2-3 liter?
In addition, you should eat beans, pea-nuts, pulses (singular is pulse). they keep you fit and healthy. And, if you eat them as per requirement, your doctor would not face any hurdle to feel your pulse! But, please make sure, you are going to put the unnecessary things into your litter-bin.
And, what more today! Do you take care of your foot regularly. It is very important. Though imp do not care about it. Foot helps us to keep fit and may I ask about your height,are you above 6 foot? But, If you are already taking care of your valuable feet (singular is foot), I must say, it is a matter of feat! Take care.

Expector, according to JK ... American uses 'feet', and never 'foot'. Honestly, normally over here, we use 'feet' for height rather than 'foot'.

Again, of the "six foot tall" question, it may not be a matter of American or British English.
According to Collins COBUILD English Usage, you can use "foot" as the plural in font of words like "tall", "high" and "long", for example, "She's six foot tall."
Note that you always use "foot" as the plural in front of another noun, for example, "...a twenty foot gap".

Thanks for the comment. Yes, it seems so. But, according to Michael Swan, in measurement of height, "foot" is often used instead of "feet", especially in a conversational style, for example: He's six foot two.
And, you can say "a six-foot tall man" or "a four-foot deep hole".
Expector Smith, I asked this question '6 feet tall' or '6 foot tall' to two English teachers in the main chat room, T Mal (British) and JK (American). They gave me different answers. According to T Mal, '6 foot tall' and '6 feet tall' are interchangeable, and can be used either way. But according to JK, it should be '6 feet tall'. It seems that it's all depend on whether you're using British English or American English.
nice

"six-foot tall"
I am always confuse whether to use '6 foot tall' or '6 feet tall'. There seems to be a lot of argument which one is correct. Hmmm....
"parrot" vs "carrot"
How about "rooster", "roster"?
"flatter" vs "flutter"
