... as it opened to me a new frontier and the key to learn and discover and get in touch with wonderful people and places.
I share with you the feelings you decribe, even in believing gentleman customs in dressing should be mantained as well as courtesy and politeness of course.
I also was taught that the Season was called Autumn and I used the word till rather recently when I discovered "Fall" and I took advantage of it for the title of this week end theme: "Fall in love with Watches" meaning both the sentiment we have for our timepieces and the seasonal background I was calling for in the pictures submited.
Regrettably modern times brought this kind of changes in my own language (Spanish) as well, and I can tell you it is not easy for me to adapt at my 71 years of age.
Hope you´ll understand my good intentions as I understand and back your standing in using proper English. I can assure I do my best when speaking and writing in English in spite of my limitations with it.
Have a nice week end and look forward to your paticipation!! All the best, Abel.

And your photos are perfect. It reminds me of how beautiful Venice looks in the Autumn sunlight.
I cannot fall in love with Fall

I really dislike that word, it is too literal and simplistic. No, I much prefer to call the season Autumn, you know, the one Vivaldi wrote a famous violin concerto about. He too clearly dislikes the alternative name. Now that we’ve cleared that up, Autumn...
I’m actually going to give you a serious answer.....

Truth be told, I have no idea what Vivaldi thought of the word “fall” as he lived in late 17 / early 18 hundreds Venice. I’m sure his natural tongue was Italian and I have no idea what the Italian synonyms for the Italian word “autumn” are and whether he ...

You are one of the most polite and courteous gentlemen on this forum, it’s always a pleasure to read your posts. If everyone in the world was more like you, I wouldn’t have needed to write my post above 😀 I hope I didn't appear to be criticizing your post...
