Ha-ha, kiitos, bro:)
Now I see that probably "fortnight" ( fourteen nights) is used in Oxford English but not in American English.

Well, I had to check it from the dictionary. However I do remember that word from the English lessons from the elementary school, but didn't remember its meaning.

Ye, live learning . This is an example that at schools teachers are not just to make pupils learn the form of the word , they are to to teach the meaning and where does the word come from. This can make knowledge fundamental and not-forgettable. No one will forget it knowing fortnight = fourteen nights. At our English lessons we joked that our English pronounsation is absolutely correct according to latest laws of Communist Party Btw, John , do You have any idea about roots of Your family name ? From Russian " Burrey" is just Brown . Like a bear is.

hahaha i never knew what fortnight meant even though i'd heard it in some movies. i guess maybe i thought it meant "the forthcoming night" or "the next night" but i knew that couldn't be what you meant because mark said that he'd landed back in the USA at los angeles so that's how i knew i was wrong about that word.
as far as what my family name means, i have no clue and wouldn't know the first place to look to find out.

mikel: This is a little bit off topic, but do you know that there is also the Accept discussion board alive? The new address is: acceptworldwide.proboards.com/I am also there. It is a little bit more silent forum than this. Not much action there. I just thought if you didn't know about the Accept discussion board. The old one was ended. So Fred established a new board.
