"Bi-monthly" is ambiguous: it can mean twice a month or it can mean
once every two months and there is no convincing anybody that their
use of it is wrong :-)

There are 24 semi-months in a year. There are roughly 26 fortnights.
American English seem to allow the adverb semimonthly but generally avoids
the
British term fortnightly.
There ought to be an unnecessary book English Made Difficult as a
companion piece to Carl E. Linderholm's book Mathematics Made Difficult.

Subject: [PATCH] org-clock.el: add semimonth step for clocktables
* lisp/org-clock.el (org-clocktable-steps): add a semimonth step for
producing clock tables.
Originally proposed "bimonth" as name; however, bimonthly is
ambiguous, as it can mean 2 different things, semimonthly or every 2
months.

Applied in 8a99404c8, along with a follow-up commit that adds a test,
updates the manual, and add a NEWS entry.

Exactly true. "Bi-weekly" is nearly as ambiguous, but is rescued by an
ensuing discussion: "Which two days of the week did you want (the event)
to occur?" "Um, ah, I mean every two weeks." "Fine then, let's say that."
I think the original question from Christian Hopps presumes the meaning,
"Every two months."

Oh, I took it to mean bi-weekly. ;-)

Exactly. So "bi-monthly" just means "twice a week". I'm sure we can all
agree on that :-)

FWIW the code was actually unambiguous. :)
I meant "semimonthly" or twice a month (i.e., like some people get paid: 1-15th, 16th-endofmonth).
Thanks,
Chris.
