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 part doesn’t use gendered language as a main component, lol. But otherwise yeah, it’s tricky haha.
