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.

The team I was on at work number of years ago had to hash this exact thing out because we had a “biweekly” status and was confusing people. We ultimately landed on not using the term.
Bimonthly and biannually have the same problem.
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.
