Why live your life in days, weeks and months, when you can live in fortnights! How long is a fortnight?

A fortnight is basically a fancy way of saying "bi-weekly". You don't hear too many companies that offer to pay you every "fortnight". The origin of the word is from the Old English term fēowertyne niht, meaning "fourteen nights".
