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?

    Because biennial is a word that exists, that doesn’t mean biannual does not have the same meaning.

        Good lord. I made a mistake. Fuck me.

        Biannual does indeed have potentially different meanings to biennial. In that you are correct.

        However, my point as I’m sure you are aware, is that the existence of the word “biennial” does not imply that “biannual” can not mean 2 years.
