English Language Tip: Fortnight

It is an old English term used as a unit of time equals 14 days or 2 weeks.


Just a note to be careful because it is sometimes used in business referring to salaries, pay periods, social security benefits, or during task scheduling activities. 

Seasons for the year

Winter:   December, January, February 

Spring:    March, April, May

Summer: June, July, August

Autumn:  September, October, Novemebr
