Actually according to webster.com bi-weekly means both. Its always been that way.

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!

Listed Right Now on MoviePosterBid.com Back to Top MoviePosterBid.com Has the Best Poster Bargains on the Internet Are you looking for the best movie poster deals on the internet?? Are you looking for a great place where you can shop at your leisure & find cool posters at great posters every week of the year?? Then you're looking for MoviePosterBid.com At MoviePosterBid.com we auction hundreds of posters every week and every week we have dozens of happy buyers who got incredible deals on lots of posters. Why can we sell posters so low and give you such great deals?? It's simple economics folks. Our competitors have high overhead and because of that they must get higher prices to survive! eMovieposter.com has great weekly auctions, and Bruce is a great guy. But he has 21 employees helping get out the 1000-2000 items they sell every week. They must sell more posters for more $$$$$ to pay all those 21 people you know Heritage may have the very best auctions 3 times a year, but when you win a poster for $200 at Heritage, your actual bid is $239. because they charge you a 19.5% buyer's premium and they have a minimum fee as well. If you win an item for $1 in their weekly auctions, they add a minimum $9 fee to each item, so those $1 items actually cost $10.00 each.. Not much of a bargain is it?? Plus Heritage has way more than 21 employees! They have a whole building full of people working in different departments on 21 floors in Dallas. Now you're talking about having to make alot of cash to pay those folks. MoviePosterBid.com doesn't have to make the same money as those guys! Here at MoviePosterBid.com we have just 2 people, and we don't cost much. We own our own auction site and we have a huge 2200 sqft warehouse just off the Las Vegas Strip full of posters, comics, art, pulps and more and we own all of our merchandise, so we don't have to make that extra 30% in fees from consignors that other sellers do when they sell posters that they don't own and we don't have to charge you that 19.5% that other sellers do to pay those high rents. We can just give you the best prices that you can find anywhere on the internet. It's as simple as that! MoviePosterBid.com - your place for posters Back to Top MoviePosterBid on YouTube hey Folks..
