My Latvian passport reads:
Augums (cm) / Height (cm)
178

Some of you know that I have begun studying French as a beginner, no less.
My Tuesday and Thursday classes each of 1 hour and 15 minutes began on
October 3.
I am not attempting to begin again the thread about whether to say height in
meters or centimeters except to make the following comment.
In my workbook on the subject shown, the �passeport� passport shows the
�taille� height handwritten as �1 m 85�. I cannot be certain if there is
truly spacing before and after the m because it is handwritten. I guess one
would say it out loud as �un m�tre quatre-vingt-cinq� one meter eighty five.
