fortnights

A discussion this morning threw up the interesting titbit of info:
Apparently Americans don't use the word 'fortnight' to describe a two-week period.
We then got onto the meaning of the word 'bi-weekly', and whether it means twice a week, or every two weeks.
So, dear reader:
If you are American - do you know what I mean by 'fortnight', and would you use it in regular everyday use?
What do *you* understand by the term 'bi-weekly'?
