Your source doesn’t say that at all.

Autumn and fall are used interchangeably as words for the season between summer and winter. Both are used in American and British English, but fall occurs more often in American English.

    Jeez, some alternative facts from Merriam Webster right there 😂 I've never heard a British English speaker (or speakers of any other UK English variant, for that matter) use 'fall' to denote a season.

    I’m from Kentucky. Second week of October is the best time of year for that. For word usage, fall, because fewer syllables. That’s not hating on Kentucky. That’s just farmer/backcountry people favoring efficiency.

    We got crazy stories in Kentucky, some of them are women fighting for education
