#TheTaintedCupSpoilers I think "tall" might be the most common descriptor used for characters in this book lmao. There have only been like three characters *not* described as tall so far, and none of them were described as short either 😅 - ThreadSky

I have this theory that nobody thinks about their own height very much. It’s just “normal”. Also, if someone is +-3 inches, it doesn’t register, but beyond that, it sticks out, so people only really register “tall” and “very short”. “Short to slightly tall” doesn’t register as noteworthy.

I think it might be both their own height, and the median-ish height of the society they're in.

Like I'd imagine even a small person in a generally-tall society is probably going to eventually stop commenting on the height of everyone else, because they know they're the odd one out (by height)

Like I think Lift, Szeth, or Sigzil probably make like one comment to that effect in Stormlight, but they're not constantly pointing out everyone's height

I read a book recently where one character’s height was described as “shockingly average” and literally every other man was “tall”.

This sounds like one of those SAT logic questions lol
So that one character must have been tall, if the average other man was "tall" 😀
