I call it autumn. And long ago it was called 'harvest'.

Autumn is a wonderful word and allows you to use autumnal when speaking of autumn. Fall on the other hand sounds childish, under appreciative and must thus be annihilated.

It also triggers confusion in small fox children.

I usually say "autumn" instead of "fall" as well.

I usually say "Bah, I can't wear shorts anymore."

Otoño

Uh oh, my College is screwed up! It says Fall 2007 on my ID!

I usually say "Bah, I can't wear shorts anymore."

That's pretty much what I say as well.

That thing happens to my mind too if nobody is talking. Which is why my friends have learned to distract me with candy and/or caffiene.

I can babble on endlessly about anything.

SHORTS!?

Blech!

SHORTS!?

I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!

Has Millie never heard the phrase "Spring has sprung"? The name is already appropriate.

My older co-workers were taught to spell the seasons with initial caps; now they need to be corrected. Not an issue in all-caps text.

How about Fall into Autumn?

Hey, that made me realize that that is probably where 'herfst' comes from. A contracted version of 'harvest'.

It is, actually. Both words descend from the Germanic word 'harbistaz'. It's possible that the word is related to 'sharp' as well as Latin 'carpere' (as in 'carpe diem'), with a general meaning of plucking, picking or cutting.
