Hi Ariel,
I recently looked it up in the Concise Oxford dictionary(1990) and found it
can mean both :"occurring twice a month or every two months".
It also says: "Often avoided, because of the ambiguity of meaning, in favor
of two-monthly and twice-monthly."

Hi,
In one of the E unseens I encountered the term bi-monthly. According to the
answer key it means twice a month.
Does it?... or does it actually mean every 2 month, or maybe both?...
I had in mind bicentennial (which means the 200 anniversary) and biennale
(which means every other year.)
