I would just like to correct myself and all those people who I misled into using the word "biannual". Thanks to Asaf Bartov to pointing out to me that the correct form is "biennial". According to most dictionaries, biannual does exist but means semi-annual (occurring twice a year). I don't think anyone out there thinks we need *biannual* Wikimanias then, just maybe biennial :)
Yes, those two are incredibly confusing, and even I sometimes have to stop and remember which one's which. In common speech I usually take care to clarify up front, even if I use the term later.
