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?

    That’s insane I would understand both of those terms to mean the exact opposite of what you described.

    Also who gets paid twice a week and how do I arrange for that.
