Grammar
Isn't for Two Weeks
You think I'm nervous because my job interview is coming soon? Well, I'm not yet nervous at all. The interview isn't for two weeks.
Would the last sentence sound better if I add 'another' before 'two weeks'? I presume there's no need. Actually, adding 'another' gives the sentence a different nuance, doesn't it? --- you know the person you are talking to is aware that you have waited a certain length of time already, and you're saying you have to wait yet another two weeks.
Thanks,
Hiro

Hi,
Then, would 'go in for the interview' do the job?
Yes, but more natural is
My interview isn't for/until . . .
I don't have my interview for/until . . .
Won't and don't are both acceptable.
[2-1] I won't go in for the interview for two weeks.
[3-1] I don't go in for the interview
