Does bimonthly mean twice a
month?
Myth
Contradictory to popular understanding, bimonthly means every two months and not twice in a month.
Reality
Here's the thing. Bimonthly actually means both every two months AND it means twice in a month.
To which end I guess biannual is the same. Funny old language, English isn't it?
