...not convinced 'fortnight' is actually imperial (as opposed to just old): https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fortnight
Middle English fourtenight, alteration of fourtene night, from Old English fēowertȳne niht fourteen nights. (First Known Use of silver lining - 1871, same source)
...and as for etc (Et cetera), may I offer you my contrafibularities. |

I think 'Fortnight' is rapidly falling out of use in British English. I would be much more likely to say 'a couple of weeks'
