Why does bi-weekly mean "every two weeks?" This has always bothered me because intuitively it should mean "twice a week." - eviltoast

Similar case in point: “bimonthly” means “twice a month.” That makes sense.

But the definition for “bi-weekly” does not make sense.

What do you think?

    The real answer is to solve this by using different terms. For instance, “twice per week” or “every other week”.

    Don’t try to get anyone to agree on a definition, it’s just begging for problems.
