I don't hear the word angry near as often as I hear mad, but that is just me.

Same with me - when I watch American movies. In Australia "mad" means crazy. It's always funny to hear in movies people saying "Don't be mad", "Are you mad?", when they mean angry.

On American/British English used in Australia. Everybody says and writes 'autumn', not 'fall' here.
