There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

An old word that fell out of use to describe a two-week period is "fortnight."
It should make a come back, but I fear the current generations would always misspell it for... reasons.
Fortnight is in routine usage in the UK.
Old word?
Only in America, surely. Fortnightly is as common as weekly in most other English-speaking nations
Oh, I didn't get the memo, I used fortnight/ly all the time
Very commonly used in Australia.
