I guess it's just the evolution of language. Also France and England were very connected through kings and queens and all that crazy ****

We know the word autumn and it's used occasionally, but fall is much more common in casual conversation. I wonder why the British started using the French term, though? The Norman conquest is the most obvious answer, but that would have been centuries before anyone moved to America.

I watched a video a couple of days ago about Americans using the word fall for autumn and apparently it is British from hundreds of years ago and so was used when people emigrated to America and then the British started using the French word instead (automne).

It's the same meaning… There are basically certain areas of the US which are much closer to British English than others. The Appalachian region was settled predominantly by English and Scots-Irish very early in the country's history and was then pretty isolated for a long time, without the subsequent immigration waves and easy transportation that hit other regions. So, for example, there were 16th century English folk ballads discovered pretty much intact in rural Kentucky into the 20th century and it was found to be the only American accent where recitation of some of Shakespeare's sonnets truly rhymed…
But most Americans consider it a hillbilly accent.

Maybe she's too posh to use it

Maybe it's regional. It's common in London at least but is probably considered like … not slang but it's not very high class to use it. Kind of casual speak.

Yes it’s common for us. Maybe it has different meanings? We say it like “I reckon he knows something….” instead of saying I believe or I think … It just means what your thoughts on the matter are.

I've heard Brits use it… In the US, it's pretty regional, something you'll basically only hear in a country song or an old western, as you mentioned.

I said that word in a sentence to my American friend and she laughed and said “you Brits and your strange words”.
