  • Summary

  • Today we're discussing the ambiguity of the words "biweekly" and "bimonthly," which can both mean "every other week" or "twice a month."


    We're especially looking at an article on Merriam-Webster.


    The article explains that the prefix "bi-" can mean both "occurring every two" and "occurring twice in", leading to this confusion.


    The article also suggests alternative words such as "semimonthly" or using phrases like "twice a week" to avoid ambiguity.
