I think in practice almost no one uses the second definition. If your office has a âbiweekly meetingâ then itâs definitely a meeting every 2 weeks, occurring on the same day (usually a Monday).
Two meetings in one week is just two different meetings, not a biweekly meeting.
This is a regional thing, I'm pretty sure. I live in a city that is particularly prone to housing people who didn't grow up here (really shitty average rent to income ratio) and this is a huge issue in communication constantly
We have something similar although only in certain dialects of danish. The following is a valid sentence meaning the island in the river: ĂŠ Ăž i ĂŠ Ă„
There is actually a correct answer here, which is that 12:00 AM is midnight. It's really stupid because we should just call it 0 AM, but I think it's because they didn't really have the concept of zero as a number back when this stuff was decided, and we've carried this stupid legacy system with us since then
It's disputed, that's why it's a good argument question. Most style guides say it's midnight or recommend staying away from it. Just use a 24-hour clock.
