Episode description

The three of us are tired of being misunderstood when we've used the words "biweekly", "bimonthly" and "biannually".

It's just no fun.

And so we're starting the campaign to ditch biweekly and use fortnightly instead. See sketch here.

Try it out. You won't regret it.


Our discussion turns to the general ambiguity of language and how in many senses it's quite a good thing.

It allows for creative writing, comedy and ease of communication.
