In an interesting discussion on Twitter (yes, those do occur occasionally), someone posted a dictionary definition claiming that "bimonthly" means both "every two months" and "every two weeks." The correct definition is the first one.
It was pointed out that, since people don't know the meanings of words anymore, "bimonthly" has, apparently, been bent to popular usage and has, in effect, absorbed the meaning of "semimonthly" into its meaning.
I say: "Nay!"
"bimonthly" = every two months
"semimonthly" = every two weeks
Argh.
