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’s because of British English, and the fact that American English seems to have dropped a word which is caused confusion.
Bi-weekly means two times a week.
Fortnightly means every 2 weeks. But American English seems to have lost the word fortnightly, so there is this ambiguity now.
Fortnightly FTW. We can always (try to) re-educate the masses!
Even worse is bisexual not meaning “having sex twice”. Ask me how I know…
How do you know?
Hey, long time. Do you want to have sex again? No, it’s my girlfriend’s turn now…
Incorrect. Bisexual doesnt mean twice per sex, it means 2 sexes.
So?
