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?

this is TIL, for me. “fortnightly” almost always solves it.
I always think the rule was “bi-” for “two” like bicycles VS semicycles.
dictionary people say it is up to the sayer to avoid confusion.
“He T-posed fortnitely down the stairs.”
Doesn’t a fortnight mean 10 days or something, though?
