    A. Autumn is the season, Fall is what leaves do in autumn.

    What side of the pond are you on?

    And don't think we haven't spotted the tilde...

    (You must have misunderstood the point of the moratorium; it's against posting new tilde-related questions, not against use of the tilde.)

    Can't completely strip a man of his tilde.  That would just be cruel.

    F. Fall.

    I have deemed autumn an archaic and snobbish word.

    No, it's an ENGLISH word. Yanks haven't spoken English for years.

    Youse guys speak American. Seppo-ese. The spelling and inflection are different - similar to the difference between Italian and Esperanto, or Dutch and Flemish. We can understand each other but the language isn't quite the same - and getting more different all the time, I can assure you that "covfefe" isn't an English word.

  • Autumn is lyrical where as Fall rings harsh
