Stupid Questions That Make You Say Hmmmmm......

How do you use the term "biweekly? Once every two weeks or twice per single week?

 

Once every 2 weeks.
Roughly twice a month with exceptions..

But you may be on to something...

 

Hmmm. . . I had never heard if being used as twice per week. "Bi-" indicates two of something, bicentennial (2 hundred years), bicycle (2 wheels), etc. If dividing the time period in two, I use "semi-". Apparently, though, this has been confusing for a very long time (I looked it up). I just have never heard "bi-" being used in place of "semi-" before.

 

Why be biweekly? So much better to be heterodaily!

 

Bi-weekly = every two weeks. Paid that way for a little over 25 years. Now once a month.

 

I’m paid bi-weekly and it’s every other week. Some months I get three pay checks. Bi-monthly would be twice in a month.

 

Can’t wait…

 

I have maintained for decades that there is no such thing as a stupid question.






Just stupid people, asking questions!

 

No, that's semi-monthly.

 

I semi get paid

 

I just say "every 2 weeks", or "every other week". It doesn't take much more energy or time to say than "bi-weekly".
Plus, I work with some pretty stupid people, so I try not to create situations for confusion.
No offense to stupid people.

 

None taken.

 

Not according to my previous company.

 

I resemble that.
