Biweekly.

For whatever reason, I had originally referred to inter alia as being "biweekly." I woke up with a start a few nights ago when I remembered that "biweekly" means "twice a week." Not "every other week," as I had intended.

So I just checked Merriam-Webster Online, and was pleased to discover that "biweekly" in fact does mean "every other week" (as its second definition). So I wasn't, technically, making the ignorant mistake I had thought. Sigh. Rather than breed confusion, however, I thought I should change "biweekly" to read "fortnightly," which is an uncommonly clear word, if a bit archaic. Enjoy.
