quote:
maybe, but dictionary definition:
mountain
noun
1.
a natural elevation of the earth's surface rising more or less abruptly to a summit, and attaining an altitude greater than that of a hill, usually greater than 2000 feet (610 meters).
No, there is no "maybe" about it. Like I said, there are no universal standards in place that identify a hill from a mountain in the United States.
There might be different arbitrary rules created from different places, but there is no universal rule.

There is no universally accepted definition of a mountain. Elevation, volume, relief, steepness, spacing and continuity have been used as criteria for defining a mountain.

This is stupid. At first I thought the guy was giving the usual westerner smack about eastern mountains being mere hills. Then I discover that he is saying that the mountains twenty miles away in Oklahoma are more impressive than the one in Arkansas.
Hey, Einstein, the reason it appears that way is because HW 259 in Oklahoma runs straight up the side of some pretty impressive hills over there while HW 71 mostly threads its way through the valleys and only crosses at gaps and never gets up as high as HW 259.

"Rolling hills" describes the area around Ruston and N. Louisiana, as well as N. Missisippi.
The Ouachitas in western Arkansas are definitely mountains. You can drive over rolling hills. You have to drive around mountains.
