Bi-annually?

Bi-annually is every 2 years.
Semi-annually is every 6 months.
Which did you mean?

Regardless, I got fed up with Cablevision's overpriced TV service and disconnected a year ago today. I've saved almost $700.

Which is why you shouldn't trust a free dictionary.

Definition of BIANNUAL

: occurring twice a year

acording to your own dictinary link

looks like it could mean once every 2 years or 2 times per year

Right, it's ambiguous. So if Karl wants us to know what he means, he should have used the word semi-annually. That makes the meaning clear.

Unless he really meant every 2 years. I have no way of knowing!

I'm just trying to figure out if Karl meant every 6 months or every 2 years.

I think you knew I meant twice a year (since that's what most cable operators do and that's the definition of the word (semiannual is a synonym), but just chose to be contentious.
