As a non-native English speaker, this is what I thought when I was first introduced to this word. I was even fighting it when I was told it meant "every two weeks". Then I caved and went with the flow. You are the first person to ever agree with me. I'm not crazy. Thank you.
That's actually very true.
You might already know but English has the word 'fortnight', which also means every two weeks. In the UK, I've never heard 'biweekly', so you might find 'fortnight' easier to use.
I actually didn't know that one, even though we were taught British English in my country. All I know is that annoying video game fortnite. Lol But now I know, thank you :)
