Coincidences amaze me, and here's another.
I'm going to buy a new router (Triton TRA001) for woodworking and make a table for it. Before I do anything, I spend a few days online looking for advice. On YouTube, there are lots of router experts, many from England. In making his table, an Englishman spoke of cutting "rebates" into the top of the table. I thought I had either misheard, or the closed captioning got it wrong. Last night, I was watching an American build a table, and he spoke about cutting a rabbet - "Or 'rebate,' as the English would say."
I'm 76 years old, and I had never heard the English say "rebate" instead of "rabbet." Then I hear it twice in one day. Something like that is worth a post on UU.
