Correct answer: A time period covering two weeks

zonadm

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

It’s a term that goes back to before the 12th century

dostoy, Looks to me like a dictionary in the photo, so maybe it’s asking for a definition?
Player #141465727
