According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the definition of fortnight is “A period of two weeks,” or to be even more specific: “(preceded by a specified day) used to indicate that something will take place two weeks after that day.”

And this, much to my horror and bewilderment, is not what “Fortnite” is.

Sadly, most people will probably forget this. It took me about three tries to type “fortnight definition” into Google without it auto-correcting me to “fortnite download” and pointing me to the game’s website.

Ugh.

Because of the fragrant slenderizing of the English language and my own personal annoyance, I took up the issue personally with the “Fortnite” developers Epic Games (more like epic idiots if you ask me) to see what was the reason for the obvious typo.

I mean, how in the Lord’s name did this huge glaring error get through what I assume must have been numerous ad campaigns and Snapchat stories? With that drive and determination, I marched to Cary, North Carolina, to fight this problem head on.  

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney, along with “What is the DailyER?” and, “Get the hell out of my office,” asked, “What do you mean, typo?”

Then, I pointed Tim’s attention to the giant “Fortnite” logo behind him and triumphantly screamed, “How do you think you spell fortnight, sir!” at the top of my lungs.

“Oh my… it can’t be…” Tim croaked.

“Where is your God-damned -ght, you uncultured Cretan!” I yelled, confident in my stunning victory.
