Could someone kindly explain to me whats meant by this below?

"If you like extra work but a better finish, then rout a 12mm dado
in the one piece"

You see in the UK a *Dado* is the term used for a wooden rail that
goes around the walls in a living room of a house.

US Dado = UK Rebate

The US and the UK are two countries separate by a common language...

Thats true but I'm familiar with 90% of American terminology.

We can thank Daniel Webster for the loss of the "u". He went on a
(mostly unsuccessful) campaign to rid US English of "silent" letters
such as this. Some newspaper in Chicago attempted even more changes
for the sake if change. Fortunately, most of these efforts came to
naught. Jim

No, we can thank Daniel Webster for outwitting the Devil. We can thank
Noah Webster for our fine command of the English language.
