DAE refuse to use the word "biweekly" because it has two different definitions? (self.doesanybodyelse)

Just say what you mean:

"every 2 weeks," or

"twice a week."

Pick the one you mean.

Because unfortunately "biweekly" can mean either of those things, which kinda makes the word useless.

The team I was on at work number of years ago had to hash this exact thing out because we had a "biweekly" status and was confusing people. We ultimately landed on not using the term.

Bimonthly and biannually have the same problem.
