Autumn or Fall?
Autumn or Fall — which is your preferred word for the season between Summer & Winter? Which do you think is correct?
Time to get your language on & head on over to Daily Writing Tips to check out the posting, oddly enough titled, Autumn or Fall?
You might think that one is actually more “correct” than the other (I know I did). You’d be mistaken. Language is fascinating, and doubly so when it intersects with History, as is the case here. Check it out – it’s an interesting little fact-nugget that’s worth the time.

I like autumn better because it is easier to make into an adjective. That is “autumnal” sounds better than “fallish.”
I agree. I've always preferred Autumn, if only because it sounds better/more literate. Problem is, it also can sound a bit more pretentious. But I'm generally ok with that, as I like to use the big words I spent my parents' money to learn over all those years in school. ;^)
Fall!
