Fortnight
Some years ago I worked in Italy in an office full of English people (and of course Italians). Anyway I found that Fortnight was used when referring to a vacation….like I will be gone for a Fortnight. I was always told that meant a 15 day period. This of course is not inconsistent with your explanation of 14 nights. So if someone says they will be gone for a Fortnight do they really mean they will be gone 15 days?
