Out-of-Stock
Only an American would call autumn fall or refer to a perfectly good pavement as a sidewalk... Not so, says Lynne Murphy. The English invented sidewalk in the seventeenth century and in 1693 John Dryden wrote the line, 'Or how last fall he raised the weekly bills.'
Perhaps we don't know our own language quite as well as we thought.
