"Americans call Autumn "Fall" because they're unrefined, cultureless cretins who can't handle Latin roots"
Actually calling it "Fall" has quite a bit of culture baked into it. It's not even an American thing, it goes back to Old English. It was meant to be poetic and go along with "Spring". Spring comes from "Spring of the Leaf" while Fall comes from "Fall of the Leaf"
