Fortnightly/biweekly magazine

Hi,

I have the passion for that fortnightly/biweekly magazine, namely XXX.

Which word do you like better? I actually mean to ask which of these two sounds more likely to be mentioned in everyday English.Emotion: smile

Thanks.

Hi, Isabelle, "Biweekly" is more common. "Fortnightly" is becoming an old-fashioned word. I know you aren't asking for help with the sentence, but can I suggest a few tweaks?

Hi, Isabelle,

"Biweekly" is more common. "Fortnightly" is becoming an old-fashioned word.

I know you aren't asking for help with the sentence, but can I suggest a few tweaks?

"I have a passion for ***, a biweekly magazine."

or

"I have a passion for a biweekly magazine, ***."

Actually, that second suggestion should probably be more like "I have a passion for the biweekly magazine ***."
