Just a clarification on the "French came before Latin" thing: "autumn" came into English usage from French prior to Latin enforcing its use
ColonelDragonWang
Im american and even worse, Texan. I say Autumn.

Whenever I get that-time-of-the-month cramps, I curl into a fetal position and wonder why I didn't live life to the fullest before then.

Im feeling that right now. I used to love down time and now after barely being able to walk for a month I miss what I took for granted

As someone who has allergies and lives near a farm. Since when do humans breathe through the nose?

I dont get why so many people hate tumblr. Follow blogs that post things you're interested in = see what you want to see.

It really sounds a lot like Reddit when you put it that way tbh
Counterflux
That turns it into an echo chamber for discussions, though.

Format makes no sense to me. Reddit is better content filtering. Imgur has a better interface.
flight815down
Well, it's not supposed to be like Reddit. You follow and make your own personal blogs, not submit things to pages for everyone to see

To me, it seems to overly cluttered

Latin came after French, apparently
WhimsicalCalamari
The word came into English from Latin later than it did from Old French.

There are quite a few words in English that took that route.

There's a stuffy nose and then there's a 100% blocked passage where nothing gets in or out...

raccoonaroni
About the autumn one, that word's etomology boils down to "cold" or "to cool off". Not much more deep or meaningful than "fall"
damnedWizard
Are we gonna talk about the man bird that has two knees on his left leg!?
DeadlyGrim
We call it "fall", from the French word "feallan", and earlier, the Greek "sphállō". It means "to decay".
WhimsicalCalamari
feallan isn't French, or even Latinate, in the slightest, bruh. "Fall" as a season comes from a longer phrase "fall of the leaves".
DeadlyGrim
Sorry, it's Old English. I typed up while fucking.
Pawprintjj
Go on...
WhimsicalCalamari
("fall of the leaves," according to etymonline, is attested as far back as the 1540s, and was "formerly common in England")
TeamOtter
The english called it fall way before America did. No need for them to be snooty about it.
msao
TIL French came before Latin...interesting
WhimsicalCalamari
Some etymology searches show that it came into English from French prior to entering the language from Latin.
Grooseland
So an english word that derives from a french word that already derived from latin?

English has a huge influence in words but sentence structure and grammar are far more Germanic. Not to mention our basic words are Germanic.

We call it autumn here too, but why hate on fall?

"Autumn" literally meant "cold", so I don't see much difference between the two. Don't see how "autumn" is any more fancy.
Zalophus
Yeah I was just thinking this. I hear both used commonly and just as often as each other.
vanella
"Fall break" "really, hoe?,what happened?" "No I mean Fall break, like summer break" "oh ok..."

We use both; which word is more common depends on which part of the country. There are legitimate things to accuse us of being stupid about.

2 minute research, fall was used both in the UK and US but when the British realized Americans were using it they opted out.
ThatSmirkingHorseFromHighgarden
Ah, just like the metric system.
RisingPhoenix92
I do hope in the future US switches over to the metric system, its just more reasonable.

They did they same thing with the word soccer.
AskingTheRealQuestions
Incorrect. It was merely used to separate association football from other kinds of "non-offical" fotball.
Trickstan
Which they dropped once it became popular in the United States.
FerricNitrate
Wait wait wait wait wait. You're saying the UK stopped using the phrase because the US used it? I THOUGHT THE US WAS THE REBELLIOUS TEEN
mybrothersmario
Same happened with soccer, soccer isn't an American word.
Harmonex
Googling "soccer etymology" gives "late 19th century: from a shortening of Association football + an extended use of -er."
skyzophrenicMoose
Actually, it's "Automne" in french..
YASSSSbitchYASSSS
My immediate and very American response was LEAF FALL DOWN!

Also, French would have come after Latin.

And Autumn in America. So you know, there's that.

And what does Autumnus mean?!!? Cold, it means cold.

i'll let jimmy know he made a simple typo on a year old tweet
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
It wasn't a typo. That it the correct old French origin for automne. His tweet is still dumb, because 'fall' was in usage before colonial US
AsheLake
And the difference in validity between "It's cold out" and "The leaves are falling" is pretty much negligible.
MacSuibhne13
Fall is actually an older term than Autumn, it just became obselete in Britain a few centuries ago. Harvest was another name for the season.

I'm referring specifically to english-speaking countries btw...
