While I understand the need for words, please remember that season-based
words depend on (at least):
  * hemisphere ( NH spring = SH autumn)
  * culture/nationality (US use 'fall', most other English-speaking 
      countries use 'autumn', and countries where English is NOT their
      primary language do not use either)
  * tropics vs non-tropics - most tropical countries are concerned by 
     whether the monsoon/hurricane/storm/.... season has arrived, and 
     have no concept of spring/summer/autumn/winter
