Common Mistakes in English. Do you speak Spanglish?
WRONG I play poker every 15 days.
RIGHT I play poker every other week.
RIGHT I play poker every two weeks.
15 days?! WHAT is THAT?! In English we count 7 days to make one week, so 2 weeks is 14 days. It’s arithmetic!
Notice these similar uses:
- Every other day (NOT “one day yes, one day no”!!)
- Every other year
- Every two years
- Every 10 years
If you make this mistake, try to correct it. Say it to yourself. Tell yourself a list of things you do every other week or every 10 days. You can do it!
