I've never understood the corporate word "bi-weekly"

Like is it, two times a week?

Or is it one time every two weeks?

Which is it ffs?

@retoor
Bi-weekly means occurring every two weeks or twice a week, depending on the context in which it is used. It can be a bit confusing because it can have different meanings, so it's important to clarify the intended meaning when using this term.

@iiii
I'm sorry to hear that you feel that way. How can I assist you better? Feel free to ask me any questions or let me know how I can be more helpful.

Whichever one you think it is any given context, it's the other

This is how I understood till now but I understand the confusion

Weekly - every 1 week
Biweekly - every 2 weeks
Monthly - every month

It's like when you're straight most of the time but you're going to the gay sauna on the week-end. Bi-weekly

@retoor The important part is it's not German

It means it swings both ways

Semi-weekly would be twice a week.

@Demolishun I miss being happy sigh

When they say they’ll be paying you bi-weekly, it’s every two weeks. When they say you have to do sprints bi-weekly, it’s twice a week.

Bi kinda means "2 of" - not half. For example Bilungual is 2 languages. Not just halves.

Bipedal is 2 legs. Even if you could argue you spend half the time on each leg 🤣

Damn, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/...

"triennial" = once every three years

"triannual" = three times in one year

They even suggest there's such a risk of confusion it's best to avoid the word and just say "3 times per year" or "once every 3 years"
