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?

      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

      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.
