Referring to the Washington Monument, James A. FitzPatrick begins his narration stating, "Majestically rising 500 feet or more ..." This is an incorrect statement, as "or" means the monument has a variable height; the statement should have been "Majestically rising more than 500 feet...". However, since completion of construction in 1884, the monument's height has been known to be precisely 555 feet, 5.125 inches, so it's confusing as to why FitzPatrick wouldn't have used the known value.
