Post #76,350 by Andrew Grygus 1/23/03 11:44:12 AM Reply	Yes, but, that unit is used here only by . . . . English spy novels and people pretending to be British. I got over that when I left college, so I deliberately do not know what a fortnight is. I was really good at it too. I had subscriptions to Punch and the Manchester Guardian and studdied them intently. I never did master localization though, so when English expatriots asked me, "I don't quite place your accent, what part of England did you come from?", I had to confess, "California".
