Well, easy question. I'd like to know the why though if you use the one or the other :D

Fall seems to be the more common thing to call it, at least in my neck of the woods. Autumn is fine too though.

Outside of TV and films I've never heard anyone call it fall.

I always say autumn, just because it sounds better than fall, but everyone around here says fall.

I've always used Autumn.

I never even heard Fall until a few years ago.

The easier word is usually the American version. Autumn sounds better though.

a quick google search reveals twice as many results for "Fall" as for "Autumn." But then again, you can't autumn down the stairs.

I write technical bulletins. I I use Autumn because it seems to be more formal than "fall." That doesn't mean I'm correct though.
