We say Fall.

But I have to say I'm clumsy and end up in one of the planters occasionally. So if I walked in and said to hubby, "It's Fall!" He'd be like, "Again?" LOL

Right now I'm more inclined to say Spring, but then I live on the flip side of the planet where winter has just about gone to sleep for another year.

We say Autumn in Oz though I'll concede that Fall is more descriptive.

I live on the east coast of the US and we have daylight savings time. We turn our clocks back one hour in the Fall. It just makes it easier to remember to Fall back and Spring forward with our clocks.

I was very much taken with that "Fall back, spring forward". I've been using it myself for the past couple of years. Neat mnemonic.

That's about the only way I can remember which way to turn the clocks.

I'd say fall. Also cause Autumn use as female's name & it's a very beautiful name! For not creating confusion like " Hey Autumn it's autumn!! " i'd prefer fall!
