Why does bi-weekly mean "every two weeks?" This has always bothered me because intuitively it should mean "twice a week." (self.nostupidquestions)

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?

So I was relying to a comment about scores. Do you not understand how conversation works?
