I would just like to correct myself and all those

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.
