Is it two inches...deep? 

It's pretty important, when describing a product's size, to specify which dimension you're talking about. For instance, this is a "two-inch" hair straightener. Perhaps those used to purchasing hair straighteners are used to this specification, as an experienced cyclist would immediately know that a 26" wheel referred to the diameter. However, to us outsiders, a two-inch hair straightener sounds awfully small.

Sure, the iron uses infrared heat to protect your hair with ions, but how much does that matter if it can only handle a few strands at a time? Or what if the two-inch measurement refers to the radius of the handle? Then this is a GIGANTIC hair straightener, fit only for giants.

Perhaps this measurement is in one of the tiny, wrapped-up dimensions predicted by string theory. If so, then this hair straightener is one of the largest objects in the galaxy, and the hair it could straighten would be longer than the distance across the known universe.

Oh, it's two inches wide. Says so right here. Well, this was a big old waste of everybody's time.
