bi-weekly? semi-weekly?
Permalink Closed


I am setting up recurring meetings for every other week.  What would that be called? bi-weekly? semi-weekly? as I recall, bi-weekly could refer to 2x/week, and I can't remember the reference to every other week...  semi-weekly? I need to title the meeting in a way where all participants are aware that it will now be every other week, like "semi-weekly status meeting"

who knows what every other week is referred to?

Every other week would be bi-weekly.

thanks for confirming, farrah.

I also found this on the net:

bimonthly / biweekly / semimonthly / semiweekly
If your therapy group has semimonthly meetings, how often should you expect to show up? A bimonthly meeting should take place once every two months"; a biweekly, once every two weeks. A semimonthly meeting should be held twice a month and a semiweekly twice a week. Thats should. These words are often confused, and to spare nervous attendees the suspense, the only decent thing to do is to use substitute expressions like every two months or twice a month.    3
In the publishing world, where confusion is a rarity, a bimonthly always comes out every two months, and a biweekly every two weeks.
