โฒ 175 โผ Why does bi-weekly mean "every two weeks?" This has always bothered me because intuitively it should mean "twice a week." (lemmy.world) submitted 2 years ago by LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.ca 173 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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?
