    The timing of seasons can change and seasons occur at different times for different parts of the world.
    This doesn't change that you are wrong. Seasons are based on astrological events, called Equinoxes and Solstices. These have specific dates of them occurring. These are world wide events, and thus do not vary between nations that actually recognize seasons.

    Explain to me how seasons have specific dates if scientists are saying "winters are getting shorter"?

    No, it just means there is more than one correct definition of "fall" and seeing as how the Equinox/Solstice BS isn't in Merriam-Webster it means most people associate fall with the falling of leaves.

    In my corner of the world, it is usually still spitting snow well into Spring. But no one will see me saying "OmG iT's WiNtEr!" because that's not how the seasons work. But good luck telling the OP anything, seeing as they are most likely trolling anyway at this point.

    People can associate all sorts of false things with other things. It does not make them correct. Oh and as for associating it with falling leaves, Thanksgiving which is at the end of November has fall style decorations tied to it.

    People aren't being pedantic, you're just wrong and that specific dictionary definition does nothing to point at the release date not being fall anyway.

    They were clearly using Fall to indicate a time on the calendar year. If we had some freak weather and the leaves fell earlier or later, that wouldn't affect the release date. It's pretty clear in context of a video game company giving an estimation of a release window, what they meant. Ant it wasn't 'when the leaves fall.'

    Nice try but turkeys are a winter dish, not a fall dish.

    Lmao, same dictionary as you:

    Definition of autumn
    1: the season between summer and winter comprising in the northern hemisphere usually the months of September, October, and November or as reckoned astronomically extending from the September equinox to the December solstice
    — called also fall


    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/autumn

    Seeing as you just searched 'Fall', which is the americanism, and references AUTUMN specifically in it's definition. I think this is pretty valid.

    Unless you wanna argue that "Fall" and "Autumn" have different meanings. Hell I'm up for that. Autumn = the season. Fall = "hurr durr leaves fall down"

    I mean you're wrong because the equinox is how the seasons are determined. It's not BS just because it makes you wrong, but sure, double-down on that. But if you personally want to go by your definition, where I live in the US most of trees still have their leaves in mid-November. And if we get any snow it's usually in January and only for a day or two. So November is STILL Fall where I live by your incorrect definition.
