Just say what you mean:

"every 2 weeks," or

"twice a week."

Pick the one you mean.

Because unfortunately "biweekly" can mean either of those things, which kinda makes the word useless.

Biannual does not because of biennial.

Biannual: two times per every one year

Biennial: one time per every two years

No idea if there's similar words for weekly/monthly but I only know about yearly from this https://youtu.be/ljkaN_-d-Zg

The Archer clip is wrong. Webster literally lists biennial as a definition for biannual, along with twice a year.

Cambridge says the same:

Oxford put their stuff behind a paywall.
