Oh, right...

It’s good to stay flexible.

To be fair, they said “the fall” instead of just “fall”

I was in a band called that. It was mostly soft rock about gentrification.

better stock on food, either way …

legit, here in sweden we got a pamphlet about how we live in troubled times (again) and what you should do and be prepared for, one of the things it mentions is to just buy an extra package of rice or pasta or such every now and then and keep that stored away just in case.
If you live in an apartment (especially an older one from when war was fresh on people’s minds) go check if you have an extra pantry in the cellar, that’s where you should stock up on water and shelf stable foods.

I mean, fall, for Americans, is a period within autumn in which the leaves of most trees fall… Not the whole season. Here’s some sauce from the world’s worst English dictionary.
idiomaddict@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Your source doesn’t say that at all.
Autumn and fall are used interchangeably as words for the season between summer and winter. Both are used in American and British English, but fall occurs more often in American English.

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.

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

your first seems to fly in the face of everything that article says, as well as my 35 years of lived experience with the english language. i’m curious where you’ve been where they use “fall” in that manner?

Saw an ad for shelf stable food that gave this vibe. They ended by explaining what and how to use a QR code. Definitely have a target audience
