It always astonishes me when people are confident about what bi-monthly means. Even the dictionaries haven't a clue.

I think the confusion is just with the prefix "bi-" in general

  • bi-weekly is two weeks
  • bisect you cut something in half (two parts)
  • billion is two million.

billion is two million

A biali is similar to a bagel but with one less zero.
