i wonder how many kids have read old-timey literature, encountered the word "fortnight", and had a moment of severe cognitive dissonance until they realized it's spelled different
@Kat contraction of "fourteen nights"
@typhlosion god i love when words are easy
@typhlosion @Kat by analogy, thirnight and fifnight should also be words
-F
@typhlosion @Kat sixnight probably shouldn't be, or at least it shouldn't mean sixteen nights. same for the later ones really
ninenight just sounds like you're saying goodnight
-F
@typhlosion i wonder what the etymology of fortnight is anyway
