The British People Have No Answers To This
There are some aspects of one’s existence that one should never, under any circumstances, call into doubt. One of them is whether or not there is a word that can be used to represent a period of time that consists of 14 days in a row. This is due to the fact that people in the United States and throughout the rest of the world have no difficulty referring to it as “two weeks.”
Just try to put yourself in the shoes of a Briton at the moment they learned this shocking information. As it turns out, the inhabitants of the United Kingdom have a word that is used particularly to define a period of two weeks called a fortnight. Is there a justification for doing this at all? The people of Britain do not have any answers.
