No more "every fortnight in future". Instead, it's "biweekly going forward".

I do miss the 'old' terms.

Even in a US-only work environment I sometimes use fortnight to avoid the awkward ambiguity of “bi-/semi-weekly”.

"Every other week" or "twice a week" is much more understood, even if it's a bit wordier. Fortnightly is nice if fortnight were a real word, not some made up british thing.

I found my frequent use of double negatives to be problematic and had to train myself to say "I'm good" instead of "Not bad".
