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?

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'.

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!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.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!@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).

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