Bi-weekly = twice a week.

Fortnight is the correct terminology for two week periods.

Define weekly for me, melty.

Can I define fuck off for you instead?

This is easy. Two-weekly.

Every two weeks.

We already have a term for twice a month: Semi-monthly(which could also be construed as bi-weekly, but there's usually a little more than 4 weeks in a month.)

Just like semi-annual is every half-year and bi-centennial is a 200 year mark.

Every two weeks/months.

 

[imported_Baloo]

bi-weekly= 1 every other week, or every two weeks.

Bi-monthly= 1 every other month, or every two months.

I see many interpreting bi monthly as twice a month, that's a new one on me.

 

[Regs]

Every other week.
Every other month.

 

[Chaotic42]

What about di-weekly?

Wow if thats not a word with a broken definition....

yea it is, and its caused some serious arguements.

bi mean two right
week mean a week right?

so bi-anything means twice anything right?

so bi- weekly means Twice a week in my book.

Semi-weekly = twice a week
Bi-weekly = every 2 weeks
Semi-monthly = twice a month
Bi-monthly = every 2 months
