Lol, this is why I started using fortnightly, to me biweekly means every two weeks, but nobody else I work with agrees

Where do you work? I think biweekly has taken to mean 2 weeks, I expect the exception is UK.

If anyone suggested that I have forgotten! That's a good idea

You just made me think of Fortnitely, so thanks for that I guess. Somehow I think it will always mean 'about 8 years ago' lol

I agree biweekly is every-other, but biannual means the same as semiannual to me, and I don't know where that leaves me... There's also biennial for every-other though.

In any case, I propose biweekly and byweekly cause you pass one by. Not any better spoken, but still.
