I think it was in my junior high school physics class that we we were
given the exercise of calculating the speed of light in furlongs per
fortnight.

Hi from Brittany,
Mikey,
BTW, is "fortnight" still used in jolly old Mother England?
Fortnight is still used in jolly Old Mother England,
and at least is pertinent (ie fourteen nights = 2 weeks).
In France, they can't count proper like we do !
Two weeks = 15 days (quinze jours)
and
One week = 8 days (huit jours)
Now I know the Beatles sang "Eight days a week"
but this is no excuse ....... :>)
