  Jeez, some alternative facts from Merriam Webster right there 😂 I’ve never heard a British English speaker (or speakers of any other UK English variant, for that matter) use ‘fall’ to denote a season.

    Is “spring and fall” actually a set phrase or not? My actual not to pick was that “fall” only refers to the early part of the season, I just wanted to get a little more of the quote.

    Yeah if someone says “fall” in the UK it’s an instant outer that the person speaking is either American or has spent a very long time there

  I’m from Kentucky. Second week of October is the best time of year for that. For word usage, fall, because fewer syllables. That’s not hating on Kentucky. That’s just farmer/backcountry people favoring efficiency.

  We got crazy stories in Kentucky, some of them are women fighting for education
