autumn is too fancy for regular conversation, but works better in writing.3

Both are correct. "Autumn" is more British English. "Fall" is more American. I try to use autumn more simply because it's less confusing sometimes.0

I like fall because the spring of the leaf and fall of the leaf.2

Call it whatever. It is my favorite season. The pretty colors of changing leaves, fresh pumpkin seeds, the smells of apples and cinnamon... I love this time of year.5

I call it Fall. Autumn sounds better, but I imagine autumn would be in a forest full of tree's with multi colored leaves...I think they have that in Minnesota.1

Fall is used more commonly in conversation in my region. Autumn is sometimes used.
I think both are correct and it is just preference.
I wonder if the word for fall in different languages sounds or looks more similar to each other than the word for autumn does?
There were a lot of German or Scandanavian settlers in my region as well as English speakers so maybe they just preferred a more common word.0
