fortnightly. How very... olde english! :) Thanks for the tip!
Just as a suggestion, this seems like... well bug is too strong a word, but at the very least an undesirable feature. Most people fill out forms from left to right, and will enter their paycheck value first, then indicate what frequency that value represents. In very very few cases does it seem like a good idea to actually change the input a user has expressly typed in (I can't imagine under what circumstance I would first calculate my monthly salary from two separate checks, enter that value, tell the computer that this is now a twice-monthly occurrence, and then expect it to divide my number for me again). Much more likely is that the user will enter a number directly off of a paycheck (and the computer will incorrectly divide that value up in the so far blank fields of first and second), then choose the frequency (which will cause the computer to re-calculate the first and second fields - which is ok since they are not user- entered values). That said, I have to say I am fairly impressed by MW's interface so far.
