biweekly vs semiweekly :

biweekly or semiweekly

Technically, a biweekly meeting occurs every two weeks and a semiweeklyone occurs twice a week; but so few people get this straight that yourclub is liable to disintegrate unless you avoid these words in thenewsletter and stick with “every other week” or “twice weekly.” The sameis true of “bimonthly” and “semimonthly,” though “biennial” and“semi-annual” are less often confused with each other.
