Q. Does bimonthly mean twice a month or every two months?
A. Every two months (usually).

Bi- means "two," so bimonthly means "happening every two months" — but it also means "happening twice a month." Another word for the latter is semimonthly.

I'm glad we cleared that up.

Yes, it's a rubbish word.

Biweekly too. The same might have happened with biannual but thankfully someone invented biennial.

Except I can't remember which is which now.

Words don't come easy to me.
