Then again, "biennial" is more likely to cause confusion among your readers. Perhaps I am too logically-minded to have noticed the sneaky way you got around that confusion by pretending to be confused yourself, and spelling things out.

Oh well.

I have about a million words I can never keep straight -- such as psychologist and psychiatrist. I'm sure somebody out there can tell me the difference without having to first check a dictionary, but I'm also sure I could find a couple of words he has trouble with. If I could figure out why different people have trouble with different classes of words, perhaps I could write a paper about it.

Then again, such a paper wouldn't have any real social value. Oh well.

Thanks Max, I thought that was the case, but I always get it confused. Kind of like bi-weekly and fortnightly.

Bill, I have made exactly that proposal to my family.

May I suggest that you join us there the week after Thanksgiving? The quietest week of the year, but still plenty of bustle.

Biennial means “occuring once every two years” (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=define%3Abiennial&btnG=Search ), Biannual means “occuring twice a year” (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=define%3Abiannual&btnG=Search )(although semiannual is less confusing).
