Don't fall while thinking about autumn

Vote!

It's BOTH! It just depends on whether you want to be Germanic or Latinate.

Deloria · « **Reply #2 on:** June 10, 2007, 02:56:43 PM »

I prefer the term autumn.

I hear fall so much in reference to school ("fall semester," "fall grades,") I'm rather used to it, but I like the sound of autumn much more.

And, out of curiosity, which is Germanic and which is Latinate?

Delling · « **Reply #4 on:** June 10, 2007, 03:26:16 PM »

Autumn is Latinate while fall is Germanic.

W00T! I've learned something today!

Both are fine.....but sheesh it's June 10th, don't make the time fly by any faster by talking about fall/autumn already! Summer just started!

I usually call it Fall. And I'm with PK; summer just started!

I agree, with one letter difference; Herbst.

Either as long as it comes after summer.

I prefer the term autumn.

Same here. It sounds more romantic. AND it's got an M and an N next to each other, and that's always cool.

Gilgamesh · « **Reply #12 on:** June 13, 2007, 01:30:53 AM »

It's BOTH
Whit the recent weather changes I don't know what it will be anymore.

kq fan007 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 14, 2007, 02:40:40 PM »

If KQ fan thinks its fall then theres no dispute it most certainly has to be fall..........or autumn..........or both...........or maybe something different.

Fall/autumn....WINTER RULES!

kq fan007 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 15, 2007, 11:40:56 AM »

Winter only dominates when it snows, if it doesn't then its the worst season of them all.(It didn't snow where I lived last winter.)

WINTER O WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME!!???

Deloria · « **Reply #18 on:** June 15, 2007, 01:11:51 PM »

Indeed!

The season did most foully to smite you so!

Ignore the misquote, for anyone who got the reference, which is, in itself, highly unlikely.
