Almost forgot before going to bed but I feel bi-weekly is a good rhythm for this.

I feel bi-weekly is a good rhythm for this.

What does biweekly mean to you? Twice a week, or once every two weeks? If it's the latter, I prefer to use fortnightly, since it's not ambiguous.

    I mean every other week. I wasn't aware of the other interpretation, but I think in combination with "The Sunday thread" it's unambiguous?

    I have never heard fortnightly, but then I'm not a native speaker. Is that commonly used?

    Perhaps, though I guess it could also be that there is "The Sunday thread" and "The Wednesday thread".

    As for whether fortnightly is common or not, I think it is, but the other commenter suggests that only the Brits use the term. Fairly certain I've heard that from an Aussie friend though, could be that US Americans don't use the term.

    Perhaps semimonthly is the most unambiguous term? That's what Mariam-Webster seems to suggest.
