    The proper term is Autumn, but I usually say Fall.

    At school I was supposed to call it 'hydref' (which coincidentally is also the word for October). I don't think I've ever called it fall in my life.

    I am saying Fall far more frequently thanks to my brief stint in the US. Fall at least makes me sound different and interesting over here so I don't mind it so much.

    I say Fall, and I'm actually really surprised that most people here seem to say Fall as well. I figured it was more acceptable to say Autumn.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    If I had four daughters, I'd name them...
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I use both interchangeably, but I probably use "fall" most often.

    I thought it was an American thing and seeing as most members are of that persuasion...

    Note the use of W's as well as L's, likely implying this individual did not mean to indicate the lack of multiple L's or multiple W's.

    The <SUP>more <SUP>you know =☆</SUP></SUP>
