getting paid in 2 week cycles...what word is that?

[MrDudeMan]

bimonthly? isnt there another word? it seems to have slipped my mind ATM..


thanks

edit:

wtf??

Biweekly
"Happening every two weeks.
Happening twice a week; semiweekly"

Bimonthly
"Happening every two months.
Happening twice a month; semimonthly"

 

bimonthly or semimonthly.

 

[MrDudeMan]

thats what i thought it was, but then i remembered hearing another word...i swear there is a different word

 

[her209]

bi-weekly

 

[ucdnam]

It's called getting paid twice a month or semimonthly.

 

[MrDudeMan]

yeah i know...im talking about the word that goes along with it. apparently the word i was thinking of was biweekly, but thats weird because it means the same thing as bimonthly (half of the time anyway)

No it doesn't. Bi-monthly means every two months.

...

i based that sentence off of my linked definitions, so yes i was correct by saying they mean the same thing half of the time. biweekly means every 2 weeks in one case and bimonthly means twice a month in one case.

[notfred]

People who think "every two weeks" is the same as "twice a month" are idiots.

 

[Orsorum]

bi = two
semi = half

Unless it's February in a non-leap year.

 

[Yossarian]

every 2 weeks = 26 paychecks, twice a month is... fewer.
