Bi annual = every two years; Semi annual = twice every year

Biannual means 2x/year

EY2 and Accenture1 - you guys are saying two different answers

Go with mine 😀

A1, yours does sound better :)

That said, double-check they used it correctly. Could definitely occur that someone would use “biannual” to mean once every two years

Actually it’s a bit complicated: “When we describe something as biannual, we can mean either that it occurs twice a year or that it occurs once every two years. So how does someone know which particular meaning we have in mind? Well, unless we provide them with a contextual clue, they don't. Some people prefer to use semiannual to refer to something that occurs twice a year, reserving biannual for things that occur once every two years. This practice is hardly universal among English speakers, however, and biannual remains a potentially ambiguous word. Fortunately, English also provides us with biennial, a word that specifically refers to something that occurs every two years or that lasts or continues for two years."

OP, I confused myself because I thought of our paychecks, we get paid semi monthly (twice a month) and not bi weekly (once every two weeks).

With that being said, our QOL terms definitely mean you can only purchase a watch/tracker once every 2 years.

Also if you click on A1’s link and scroll through, you’ll realize it’s a little more ambiguous than expected.

Activity trackers are once every two years. Period

I was two weeks late for my period and was going to take a pregnancy test this weekend. However this morning I felt cramps and had a little bleeding..... I still have some mild cramps that go in and out. I'm so scared... Would a test be accurate? Could I have miscarried? I did message my doctor but they're closed until next week.

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
