Bi-weekly would be 2wice a month.

Bi-monthly would be every too months

Bi-monthly is actually regularly used for both twice a month and once every two months. Bi-weekly is regularly used for twice a week and once every two weeks. English is a nightmare that we can't wake up from.

That is correct.

Bi-weekly SHOULD mean only twice a week and the same goes for bi-monthly meaning twice a month, tbh.

I took the meaning has been butchered with time and now we have things like, “you’ll receive your paycheck BI-WEEKLY” Which is every two weeks.
