I made it to karate and had a good work out. Also got to squick a few people by sharing last night's adventure. We are headed off to talk with his pediatrician in a bit.
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I went to tweet the article and the news that there's still no news, and twitter is over capacity. I blame us. I'm going to use the hashtag #throwawaychevy on the premise that it's slightly but not offensively negative sounding, and it's easier to spell than disposable.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, this troubles me:
bi·month·ly/bīˈmənTHlē/
Adjective: Occurring or produced twice a month or every two months.
Adverb: Twice a month or every two months.
Why does it mean both? That's stupid.

How did you find that, Ginger?
I couldn't find it by normal means, so I went to their Facebook page and found the link. The site is impossible.

Every other month should be "semi-monthly", shouldn't it?

Twice a month should be semi-monthly. Every two months should be bimonthly.

I have only understood it to mean every two months. It's very confusing if it means both.

As I understand it, it's for the same reason we have flammable and inflammable. Its original meaning was "every two months," but people kept using it as meaning twice a month, and the powers that be gave up.

Someone explained to me the difference between flammable and inflammable once, and it made perfect sense, but then I forgot it.
It's possible that was a dream.
