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?

What do you think?
Absolutely. I know I’m tilting at windmills. I’m being idealist, not prescriptive. But at least in legalese, if one were to write “hencefore ‘semiweekly’ shall mean ‘at a frequency of every 14 days’”, I would think, “well they’re wrong, but at least it’s not confusing”.
For background, I’m a mathematician. I’m used to laying out definitions.
Also am a mathematician although not work as one, I’m not used to always providing the definitions first but it could’ve made so many things better
