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?

        Semi-weekly happens once every semi-week. Much like a semi-circle is half a circle, a semi-week is half a week. Once every half-week is twice weekly.

        A bi-week is 2 weeks. Once every two weeks.
