- mr_toad 2y agoThe weirdest one to me is the English suddenly referring to police as "feds". https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/37256/police-in-general-as-feds#37594 https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/37256/police-in-... It's not like they didn't already have dozens of slang terms for the police.
- dfawcus 2y agoIt is a traditional one which fell out of fashion. https://weather.metoffice.gov.uk/learn-about/weather/seasons/autumn/autumn-facts https://weather.metoffice.gov.uk/learn-about/weather/seasons... https://twominenglish.com/autumn-vs-fall/ https://twominenglish.com/autumn-vs-fall/ Now if we start saying "diaper" again instead of "nappy", you can start to worry.
