Elemental's Excitingly Excellent Random Banter: No.CLXXVII (177)

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

I suppose, if it's the tallest naturally occurring thing in Rhode Island, it counts as a mountain in relation to everything nearby.
Good thing there are no redwoods around.

Rhode Island? Eng: Mount Royal --> Fre: Mont Royal --> Md Fre: Mont Real --> Montreal

And that, my friends, is why Montreal is called Montreal.

"Real" being the Middle French word for "royal".

Yeah, it's a bit shallow for a mountain. But hey, it's what it's been called for 400 years, hard to argue with that.
