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?

    I’m just saying that whenever someone says “biweekly”, it is now incumbent on me to ask, “do you mean fortnightly or semiweekly?”. It slows down communication for no real benefit.

    I do sometimes say “fortnightly”, but as I already have a Backpfeifengesicht, I try to avoid it.
