Fall, or autumn, starts with the autumnal equinox. Spring starts with the vernal equinox, so "vern" should be the equivalent synonym.

Even though it makes sense, I don't think it will catch on.

Hmmm...That sounds like very hostile advice, IMHO.

The State of Colorado Department of Revenue, Division of Motor Vehicles, Title Section has an official form for situations when a person or company is known by two names. Form# DR2421 is the State of Colorado "Statement of One in the Same". It has two blank lines separated by "and", followed by "are one in the same", with a check box for "person" or "company".

The form has been in use since at least 2006. Has no one told them in the last nine years that they got the phrase wrong?

Sigh...

There's a trend around where I live where they completely forget how to properly use sale and sell. "I want to sale a few things."
I want you to learn basic English.

Yes, please.

'Teared' for 'tore.' 'Maked' for 'made.' 'Drawed' for 'drew.'

I see and hear this ALL the time.

These are probably the same folks who substitute "borrow" for "loan".
Surely you have heard the folks who say things like, "I borrowed him some money and he never paid me back".

Yes, basic English seems to be dying a rapid death in some quarters.
