I'd imagine. It's a mistake that gets made exceedingly often.

According to webster it can actually means both; Twice a Year or Every Two Years. tongue

In the video they explicitly state that they mean twice as much HUA per year as before.

Dictionary says it can mean both.

Being a Grammar Nazi is fine and dandy but make sure you're right first.

Anyway, it's slightly off topic but this has always confused me: Do ads generate money every time you click on one or every time they play?

[up][up] It's one of those things that's been done incorrectly so often that it's been added to our vernacular. It's sad, really. There's a reason I said "mostly means" rather than an absolute.

Besides, semiannual/semi-yearly is perfectly unambiguous. Just sayin'.

Poking around the OED, it appears that you are, indeed, correct.

Yeah, biannual or biennial means once every two years, semiannual is twice a year.

I liked the episode of Archer where Archer and his step-father got into an argument over those words.

Nah, I'd rather just use my ad-blocker and video ripper for free, thanks.

And as for everything else, this is why God made Frostwire.

Huh. Never knew Semi meant half, always thought of it as meaning an unspecified part. ...Which is apparently also a definition for it so whateverrrrrr.

@Moth13: The specific body part is only "semi" when it is "semi-hard". For example, "My hair is semi-hard right now" means I put the right amount of gel, not too much, not too little.

What does this have to do with DBZ Abridged? The most recent episode was called "A Raging Semi", so we've come full-circle (not a semi-circle, that's something else).

Wouldn't semi-perfect Cell be more than halfway perfect? Cell's original body is part of the equation, right?

Two actions to become perfect. Absorbing one android is only one of those actions. One is one half of two.
