Everyone in Britain knows what a fortnight is, and the word is in normal use. We are confused when TSA staff in the US talk about quart bags.

- ghaff 4y agoIt’s just not a word in everyday speech. A quart is the easy one. It’s just a slightly smaller version of a liter. And it’s not like the UK doesn’t use pints which are just half of a slightly larger quart. I’m sure there’s lots of language including unrelated to measurement which differs across the Anglosphere.
