Trivia

Any details, considerations, events or pieces of information regarding the word

1. The term 'gravelled' is often used interchangeably with the term 'gravel road'. However, it is important to note that a 'gravelled' road is not necessarily a 'gravel' road in the strictest sense of the term. While a 'gravelled' road may indeed be covered with small stones or gravel, it may also be paved with larger stones or crushed rock, or even with asphalt or concrete. Therefore, it is important to understand that the term 'gravelled' refers to a surface made up of small stones or gravel, used for paving roads, paths, or driveways, but that this surface may indeed be covered with larger stones or crushed rock, or even with asphalt or concrete, and that therefore the term 'gravelled' should not be confused with the term 'gravel road' in the strictest sense of the term.
