"Bi-monthly" is ambiguous: it can mean twice a month or it can mean once every two months and there is no convincing anybody that their use of it is wrong :-)
Exactly true. "Bi-weekly" is nearly as ambiguous, but is rescued by an ensuing discussion: "Which two days of the week did you want (the event) to occur?" "Um, ah, I mean every two weeks." "Fine then, let's say that."
I think the original question from Christian Hopps presumes the meaning, "Every two months."
