Yes you are correct if biweekly occurs every other week, then bimonthly is the same as in every other month from the prefix ‘bi-‘.Just as ‘bi-annually’ = after every two years and for twice a year we use ‘semi-annually’ and just as semi-monthly = twice a month.You are correct in what you stated in your question.In my opinion however, there is a big enough difference between biweekly and semimonthly to be concern under certain circumstances.Example:Two college roommates share expenses of a room, one pays the rent of $300 semimonthly through a lease agreement, the other pays his roommate $150 biweekly through automatic withdrawal (to coordinate w/ employment paycheck).Was this a fair agreement to compensate for equal rent?

Biweekly and bimonthly each have two different meanings. Biweekly can mean once every two weeks, or semiweekly, twice a week. Bimonthly can mean once every two months, or semimonthly, twice each month.

English is strange! Biweekly and bimonthly mean the same, i.e. about 15 days.
