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?

In Australia it means twice a week, we say fortnightly (fourteen-nights) for 2 weeks.
Yeah but the rest of us aren’t savages though…
Kidding, much love to the Aussies. Using fortnight unironically and eating Vegemite voluntarily… you crazy emu-battlers are always up to something wild down there
And FYI for the peanut gallery: it’s a British term, still in use in the motherland.
Today I learned why it’s called a fortnight.
I’ve never once heard that term used in my life in person, only online, though.
