Why does bi-weekly mean "every two weeks?" This has always bothered me because intuitively it should mean "twice a week."

Similar case in point: "bimonthly" means "twice a month." That makes sense.
But the definition for "bi-weekly" does not make sense.
What do you think?

I'm wondering the same thing about Bible. Does it mean twice per Ble or every other Ble?

Two bles.
The old and new testament together are two, thus "Bible".
Before the new testament they just carried around a ble.
