Talk:2825: Autumn and Fall

Who calls it the "fall equinox"? I thought the equinoctes were always described as "vernal" and "autumnal"? Mathmannix (talk) 19:11, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Americans sometimes call it the fall equinox casually 172.71.158.100 19:56, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

WRT the alt text, perhaps this is a woosh moment, but "fall" isn't at all common in British parlance. We know it, but only as an Americanism of what we would just call "Autumn". 172.68.19.103 20:55, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

That's the joke. Just as Americans don't typically use "autumn", the UK does not use "fall". 172.69.34.12 21:45, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

What "type of five-season system shown in the comic"? The comic doesn't show five-season system. It shows EIGHT season system. We just only know names of five of them. -- Hkmaly (talk) 23:17, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

That's the point, though: if the English language had an 8-season system, we'd have 8 names for them — but we only have 5. 162.158.110.225 07:05, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
