In the interest of pedantry, one difference can be safely ignored, no matter how irritating it can be be those who would care. The season we British call Autumn is referred to as Fall by Americans, which, obviously, comes from "the Fall of the leaves". I hear tell that tis was invented by the Americans, bu this is not so. Autumn, from the latin autumni, was the term used in English for centuries. Then, as the inevitable drift of the language continued, if was replaced by Fall. After this replacement, the English first colonised America.
In the 1800s, in Britain, Autumn came back into vogue, and soon "re-replaced" Fall, whilst it remained as such in the States.
