    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.

      Is “spring and fall” actually a set phrase or not? My actual nit to pick was that “fall” only refers to the early part of the season, I just wanted to get a little more of the quote.

      Yeah if someone says “fall” in the UK it’s an instant outer that the person speaking is either American or has spent a very long time there
