Hey Rich, noticed a small repeating error in your e-mail.

You say they are "bi-weekly" and you say you send them twice weekly, and one
of those is wrong!

"bi" in this context means every two times, so bi-weekly means every other
week. I think the word you want is "semi" which in this context means half,
as in you send them every half week (or twice a week).

An easy way to remember is to think of a "semi-circle" which is half a
circle, or to think of "semi-annual", which most people realize comes twice
a year, not once every two years.

I could also discuss what "bi" means in other contexts, but that would
clearly be "off-topic", and I have been warned not to do that!

Bruce
