'lenght' is definitely not a word.
Length, width, height, depth |

Both are not correct. Word ''length'' is very often wrongly spelled as ''lenght'', which explains all the google results.
It is most certainly length.

Yup. I looked in some dictionaires, but I couldn't find the word lenght.
But for length: length Pronunciation (lengkth, length, lenth) n. 1. The state, quality, or fact of being long. 2. The measurement of the extent of something along its greatest dimension: the length of the boat. 3. A piece, often of a standard size, that is normally measured along its greatest dimension: a length of cloth. 4. A measure used as a unit to estimate distances: won the race by a length. 5. Extent or distance from beginning to end: the length of a novel; the length of a journey. 6. The amount of time between specified moments; the duration: the length of a meeting. 7. Extent or degree to which an action or policy is carried. Often used in the plural: went to great lengths to prove his point. 8. Linguistics a. The duration of a vowel. b. The duration of a syllable. 9. The vertical extent of a garment. Often used in combination: knee-length; floor-length. Idiom: at length 1. After some time; eventually: At length we arrived at our destination. 2. For a considerable time; fully: spoke at length about the court ruling. |

Typing a word in google really doesn't prove anything
 You could probably type in anything in 1337 as well and you'd get a result, even if leet isn't really a language, nor are those real words. Just try with w00t or r00x |
