In construction, it is okay to use the term lineal feet rather than linear feet?
interesting!Actually, they are not interchangeable in construction usage.
From the Wisconsin DOT construction manual -
Lineal vs. Linear Feet. When measuring length, use the word “linear,” instead of “lineal.” Lineal means belonging to or being in direct line of descent from an ancestor.
