OP I wuz t'inkin' aboot these two werds recently.
First of all, what does y'all prefer or use most often?
Second of all, how does y'all use each?
What I was thinking specifically, was of how to refer to each. If you're talking about a new activity, how do the prepositions, ahem, fall?
"I'm starting a new class in the fall"
and
"I'm starting a new class in autumn"
both sound right to me, whereas
"I'm starting a new class in fall"
and
"I'm starting a new class in the autumn"
both grate on my ear. What do y'all think?
