I am Canadian (came here when I was four so no accent from there), Welsh parents, so I use that term as well as many other UK particular words. As recently as yesterday I had someone ask me about my accent. It matters not where I go on earth, people always ask me the same thing. In western Canada, they think I'm from the east. In eastern Canada, they think I'm from Ireland. In Ireland, they think I'm from the U.S.A. In the USA, they always think I'm from England. In England... the list goes on and on. I'm always from somewhere else...
Specifically, if Carla even knows the term fortnight it could have been used by Ra. She could have simply read it in a book or had heard it or knew it from someone she knew. Although not commonly used, I would believe the term is well known in North America. They simply use whatever vocabulary is available in the current incarnate instrument, but as I mentioned before, this could be mixed with a previous incarnate experience's accent.
Please chime up those in the USA that know what "fortnight" means without having to look it up.
