About Fortnights
A fortnight = exactly 14 days = 2 weeks = 1,209,600 s. From Old English 'feowertiene niht' (fourteen nights), reflecting the Germanic custom of counting nights. Common in British, Irish, Australian, and NZ English for pay periods, rental cycles, and parliamentary recesses. The Moon's phase advances ~half a synodic month (≤14.77 days) per fortnight; spring and neap tides also cycle fortnightly. 1 fortnight = 14 d = 1,209,600 s.
