during french class today i had a thought:

when you say “during autumn, the leaves change colors”, this could be misinterpreted as meaning that during autumn, the colors of the leaves cycles thru the entire color wheel on a sec/min scale instead of that they gradually change from greenish to orangish

do any of y’all have any other such misinterpretable descriptions of seasons?
