Kemper Combs
: Although the word "quinzenal" does mean every 15 days, the concept of time for Anglo-Saxons is different from that of Latins. So every two weeks for us is 14 days, while for Brazilians, it's 15 days. Fortnight=a period of fourteen days,two weeks/Webster's

translation or interpretation??..every two weeks for Brazilians is 14 days, also..there are no 7.5 day weeks in Brasil
