Description
There are some words that can be added to the library:
- Decade: 10 years (2 decade --> 20 years, ...)
- Fortnight: 14 days (Example: "a fortnight ago")
- Century: 100 years (Example: "a century ago", "two centuries ago")
It's not necessary to put them all in a unique PR, you can submit just one of them. Just take in mind that it should support "next decade", "last decade", "a decade ago", "in a decade", but also "two decades ago".

Research direction
Start by examining how the library currently handles the checked "decade" unit and locate the related parser tests. Implement and test one or more unchecked units, including singular and plural forms and phrases such as "next fortnight", "a century ago", and "two centuries ago". Done means the supported expressions resolve to the stated time spans.
