A linear foot is distance. A square foot is area. One square foot is the area of some square tiles used on floors. Ten square feet is 1 foot x 10 feet or 2 feet x 5 feet. Don't confuse this with a 10 foot square which is 10 feet by 10 feet which equals 100 square feet.

Lineal foot can be measured on the ground. It is related to an actual measurement. Linear foot is a distance not necessarily measured along the ground. Also linear foot can refer to board feet.
You cannot. There is no such thing as a linear square foot: the term contradicts itself. A linear measure is a measure of distance or length. A square measure (eg square foot) is a measure of area. It is not possible to have a composite measure.
A square foot is a unit of area. A linear foot is a unit of length. The two units are therefore incompatible.

Shape. A square foot is any area of 144 squinches. A linear square foot, should such a name exist, would probably be a square 12 inches to the side.

A linear foot is 12 times greater than one linear inch.

An inch and a linear inch are the same measurement. A linear inch is merely used to remove confusion between a linear inch, a square inch, and a cubic inch.
This cannot be answered since a linear foot is a measure of length while a square foot is a measure of area.
Running Foot (ft) is a measure of distance. Square Foot (ft²) is a measure of area.

No - a square foot is a unit of area. A linear foot is a unit of distance.
Linear is a straight line measurement and square feet requires a length and width.
Each linear dimension of the foot cube is 12 times as large.
They are two different things. A square foot is a measure of area. A linear foot is a measure of length or distance.
