Dictionaries offer conflicting definitions for terms like biweekly, bimonthly, and biannual, causing confusion on whether they mean twice a week or every two weeks/months/years. Merriam-Webster editor Peter Sokolowski suggests providing context or using alternative terms like "twice a week" to clarify. Some experts propose reintroducing terms like fortnight to eliminate ambiguity. Despite the ongoing confusion and historical usage patterns, dictionaries have not settled on a single definition, highlighting the challenges of language evolution and standardization.
