Bi-weekly means you would get 2 paychecks a week.

That's not the definition everyone uses :)

From the Bureau link I posted above: "Biweekly is the most common length of pay period, with 36.5 percent of U.S. private businesses paying their employees every 2 weeks."

(Check out online dictionaries too: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/biweekly#Adjective)

It seems the difference between biweekly (using this definition) and bimonthly is that occasionally you might get paid three times in a month, since the weeks don't align with the months.

By "That's not the definition everyone uses" I meant "that definition isn't used by everyone", not "the definition used by everyone isn't that".
