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.

I use rabbet for rebate pretty regularly, and I may use a dado stack to
cut one, but I don't call a rebate (or rabbet) a dado.

A dado is also a cross-grain groove. Long-grain grooves are just
grooves.

It's not a rebate (or rabbet) -- they're removing one corner, so as to
make an open-sided groove.

Do you mean ploughs?

The dado (from the latin Datum) is the face of an architectural
feature (such as a column or wall which is the main structure).

The dado rail defines the top of the dado and the skirting defines the
bottom.

North American definition of a dado is a groove formed to accept the
edge of another board.

I suppose that you intend "Derby" to be pronounced as "Darby".

I suspect that you suffer hearing the term "Rebate" being reduced to
the Neo Anglo Lingua Franca of "Rabbet".

I would further suppose that you decry the differentiation, or lack
thereof, between "Timber" and its simplification to the point of the
mediocritous - "Wood".

We grew up with "Sycamore", whilst (I do miss being able to use the
word "whilst") you enjoyed the "London Plane Tree".

We think of "Oak" as "Quercus alba" or "Quercus rubra" v. "Quercus
robur" and we will not go into 'Crimschmidt' just now, as it is an
unholy alliance not unlike those that occur in our Appalachian
mountain regions.

You have "Deal". We are simply trying to get one.

Ye, we enjoy "Quirks". The physicists have "Charmed" ones but we
simple wooddorkers have "Quirk and Bead", which has the charm of being
visible.

We eat "Macs" rather than wear "Macks".

We think that "Lorrie" is the name of an old girlfriend whom we drove
particularly hard.


There is more - but I have grown weary.

Here's an excerpt from an article often attributed to Mark Twain:

A Plan for the Improvement of English Spelling

For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be
replased either by "k" or "s," and likewise "x" would no longer be
part of the alphabet. The only kase in which "c" would be retained
would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later. Year 2
might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the
same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with
"i" and Iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all.

Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with
Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so
modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants. Bai
Iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant
letez "c," "y" and "x"--bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould
doderez--tu riplais "ch," "sh," and "th" rispektivli.

Fainali, xen, aafte sam 20 iers ov orxogrefkl riform, wi wud hev a
lojikl, kohirnt speling in ius xrewawt xe Ingliy-spiking werld.

Since "dado" has been flogged to death, I'll note for you that the
wooden rail that goes around the interior of a room is simply referred
to as "chair rail" here when mounted by itself, and occasionally
wainscoating cap when it is used to terminate the top end of partial
wall panelling.

However, not all cancer IS terminal. Therefore, stating "True, but there is
no cure for cancer" is an inaccurate statement. That statement did not refer
to a *specific* incidence of a person with a terminal illness, but rather
the general notion that cancer is always incurable. Fact: a high percentage
of folks who are diagnosed with cancer are cured.

I knew I should of taken a law degree. :-)
