Yes. I heard that in spain they say 'quince días' or something like that which makes no sense to me.

Yeah, and technically that should mean 15 days? Haha, it's funny. I don't know why they do that.

I know it from Harry Potter, which also probably one of the only reasons any one in the U.S. would.
Still we would just say 2 weeks though. It sounds foreign/excessive.

Yes. I'm confused why people think it's such an odd word?

I've just now realized that I basically never say "two weeks" because I would use the word fortnight instead probably.
