biweekly
This term is notoriously ambiguous because it possesses two contradictory meanings: once every two weeks (fortnightly) and twice a week. This duality often leads to scheduling confusion in professional and academic environments.
To avoid misunderstanding, it is highly recommended to use more precise alternatives. For a frequency of every two weeks, "fortnightly" is common in British English, while "every other week" is preferred in American English. For a frequency of twice a week, "semi-weekly" is the technically correct term, though "twice weekly" is the most transparent choice.
