Catastrophe!
Because if the English language made any sense it would be an apostrophe with fur....

Maybe you should learn Chinese. The Q is pronounced like a CH though.
EDIT: China gets its name from the province of Qin.
Biweekly...so am I supposed to do something every 2 weeks or something twice a week?

I've never heard about semi-weekly. But then, you can attach "semi" to pretty much anything these days and make up unimaginable curiosities and grotesqueries on the double that have no denotation in real lifeEver 2 weeks, duh. Twice a week = semi-weekly. Any misuse of those terms is due to pure stupidity on the part of the speaker.

Bi-weekly is every other week. Duhr.
I enjoy "correcting" people who say regardless. It really screws with them."Irregardless" is the worst word in the English language.![]()
I think the confusion comes when applied to time related things, because of the different way of looking at it. "Semi" could mean half the amount of things (ie every two weeks) or half the time (ie twice a week).Yeah, that's just dumb and wrong. It's pretty obvious from other applications of "bi" and "semi" that the former means two of something and the latter means half (or at least part) of something. Bicycle, semicircle, bisexual, etc. If I ever hear anyone pull that shit on me in person, I will promptly correct them and tell them to stick their phony dictionary definition up their ass.
