The 18" should always be 18" (1/2 of a yard). The 22" may vary a little because the width of fabric varies a little. So no, you have not been ripped off. See my smiley face?

The spaghetti story reminds me of a story when my DD was just a little thing, about 3 or 4 years old. She and a friend came in to ask for a graham cracker for a snack. I gave them each a square of a graham cracker and my daughter asked if they could have two crackers. I told her no, that one was enough for right now. As they were walking out onto the porch, I heard DD whisper to her friend - "Let's break our crackers in half! THEN we will have two crackers!"
