The statement "21000 feet of lineal foot of fencing" is incorrectly worded. At some point in time someone decided that LINEAL was a descriptive word that should be used to describe a unit of measure. Lineal refers to ancestry or heredity - so the definition of a "lineal foot" would mean someone's foot (like your grandmother) that is related to you. The correct term for measurement is actually LINEAR, i.e., one (1) linear foot equals twelve (12) inches. Linear feet and feet are the same measurement. Therefore, 1 foot equals 1 linear foot.
