Hi all,
I've seem the word fortnight already, and I know it means a time period of 2 weeks, but is it an usual word in American English? Or is it more used in British English?
Can I use the term if I´m writing a formal document or is it better to avoid it? For exemple, can I say something like "The debates will be held periodically (e.g., fortnight)" or this will sound weird?
