[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) biannual and semiannual, both mean twice a year and once every two years - which is even more confusing. No! Bad! Do not encourage this! Like biweekly, biannually is every two years. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago I’m not encouraging it, it’s actually one of my biggest pet peeves! I can understand why given how rarely they’re used, people get confused between semi-annual and biannual - especially since things happening every ~6 months is a more common occurrence than every ~24. In a world where possible/impossible is simple to understand, why is flammable/inflammable confusing!? Don’t even get me started on “literally” - I want to bang my head against my desk every time I hear it misused. permalink fedilink source parent
