Looking at dictionary.com, it appears it could mean _either!_  GACK! :)


bi-week-ly
adj. 

     1.Happening every two weeks. 
     2.Happening twice a week; semiweekly. 



However, as for the word "biweeklies," it seems settled (and even
publication-related!)


n. pl. bi-week-lies 

        A publication issued every two weeks.
