CHAPTER

Table Mountain in South Africa

Table Mountain stands beside the city of Cape Town in South Africa. The word plateau just means a really big flat rock which is what Table Mountain is. In British English we spell it K-I-L-O-M-E-T-R-E But in American English they swap the last two letters instead of RE it's ER And the same thing happens with other common words like meter obviously and center That's right, so if you talk about the city center in British English and American English you have to spell center differently.
