What is a fortnight?
Correct answer: A time period covering two weeks
msmsmsms777
ask today's youth this ? they will probably say a video game
zonadm
depends where your from. in the uk we would say that all the time
Scorpia Malfoy
OMG no one knows what a fortnight is anymore because of the game
dostoy
I don't understand how the photo connects to a fortnight.
Uzumaki
msmsmsms777, you can't just assume that today's youth will not know this. Not everyone here plays fortnite. In the UK, the word fortnight is used quite regularly.
JoeBo
Fun fact: The word "sennight" used to be used for a week. Just as "fortnight" refers to fourteen nights, "sennight" refers to seven nights.

Wages, salaries, mortgages, and rents are mostly paid fortnightly here in Australia. Fortnight is a very common term here.
McGiff
I take it from the comments that Fortnight is a term not often used in the States. Interesting!

I'm Canadian, I'm "today's youth", I've heard of the game Fortnite and I also know what a fortnight is. Don't assume generation dictates brains

Bout to tear up! yup up in fortnite! hop in the bus than I drop out and glide! there's a storm coming so stay in the eye! because if u outside u get damaged and die! better start running collecting ammunition cause one hundred other will battle to win it!! last man standing camp in abandoned houses or buildings the storm is expanding!! build shelter or cover when u need buffer from bullets ripping hitting and spinning from gunners strategies key and that's it for now let's get back to me playing battle royale!! boom baby!!
Queen Esther

Queen Esther
Player #22438066, Very true!! but sometimes at the same time! it can be true!! but yes don't doubt the youth because u will be surprised with what we know!! definitely!
Queen Esther

Player #11007033, Almost all the jobs that I have had in the U.S.A. have pay periods where I got paid bi-weekly. Bi-weekly is used more in business settings, but I did know it meant two weeks.
Stacy
