Whether if something is deceptively [a trait] does it mean it's the inverse of the trait or more of the trait than it appears, ie: if you call something deceptively shallow, does that mean it is shallow, but looks deep, or that it is deep but looks shallow. Hours of arguing with my family and checking numerous sources, we came to the conclusion that the phrasing can be used either way.
An event that happens biweekly could occur at the same frequency as an event that happens bimonthly.
Shouldn't that be semi-monthly? Rounding months to 4 weeks, of course.
Or maybe that's just me wanting bi and semi to have consistent meanings. Bi is two, semi is a half.
Probably should be, but isn't. Bimonthly can mean twice a month or every two months.
Goddamit. I was so certain it was the inverse, and now here I am debating myself
You can thank me later
You're debating whether not-3 is the same as "less than three".
It's => but not <= so it's not ==.
AAAAHHH
I think if something is described as deceptively shallow it means that it looks deeper than it is. IMO
