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?

It means both, twice a week and every two weeks. It's confusing but what part of english isnt?

The part doesn’t use gendered language as a main component, lol. But otherwise yeah, it’s tricky haha.
