semimonthly steps [Re: bi-monthly steps.]
FWIW the code was actually unambiguous. :) I meant "semimonthly" or twice a month (i.e., like some people get paid: 1-15th, 16th-endofmonth). Thanks, Chris.

Oh, I took it to mean bi-weekly. ;-) Exactly. So "bi-monthly" just means "twice a week". I'm sure we can all agree on that :-) signature.asc Description: PGP signature

"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."
