Why Fall is Fall

Interesting fact Fall as it's used in the US, Canada, and Australia originates from 16th century England ( or earlier) English. So just like Soccer, also a word originated in England, the word was used and spread by the English and later used more predominately by former colonies. Seems rather silly to me to try and insult a countries intelligence with a word first used in the very country doing the insulting. But hey at least we didn't buckle under the French to use their word for it almost exclusively. http://grammarist.com/usage/autumn-fall/

Also we add a bunch of letters but usually vowels, they mistook us with Polish, they're the ones with the shitload of consonants on sale... so long story short we can remove this "p" in automne.

The Latin root literally means the harvest that happens at that time. Both are named after something that happens at that time at least the people who use fall actually know what the word means

In "The King's English" (1908), H.W. Fowler wrote, "Fall is better on the merits than autumn, in every way: it is short, Saxon (like the other three season names), picturesque; it reveals its derivation to every one who uses it, not to the scholar only, like autumn."
Fall matches spring. Autumn is nice and poetic.

Wait, wait, wait...
From the French, and later the Latin?

My British friend thought this was hilarious!
