Ok but seriously wtf. Why is it both. It shouldn’t be both. These are two completely different meanings. That’s so dumb. Like I’d get it if the meanings were closer or something but wtf.
If I say in having a bimonthly club meeting that could mean anything. You, the listener, are forced to ask twice a month or every other month. It’s the definition of useless. Like everyone’s like “oh defenestrate is so useless lmao” but at least it means something? If people are confused, they get confused on definition, not usage. Whereas anyone who is above the age of 13 can look at bimonthly and think about it and come to two meanings that are possible but are very different. AND GUESS WHAT BOTH ARE TRUE.
Usually I love the English language. I think it is a language that has a lot of use and is very maliable. Sorta like a Swiss army knife. BUT THIS… this is so dumb.
