Is Biennial a word for every two years? Biannual means twice a year, right?
So, how can I say eliminating a subscription will save the school $5,000 every two years?
Eliminating the subscription will save the school a biennial fee of $5,000.
^^does that work?
Yes, that works well.
Thank you Ms. Sue.
Yes, biennial means every two years. Semi-annual means twice a year.
You're welcome, Afrikah.
Which is the most effective paraphrase of this excerpt?
No, using the term "biennial" in this context would be incorrect. "Biennial" actually means occurring every two years, not every two years. The correct term to use in this case would be "biennially".
To express that eliminating a subscription will save the school $5,000 every two years, you could say:
"Eliminating the subscription will save the school $5,000 biennially."
Alternatively, you can rephrase the sentence to make it clearer:
"By eliminating the subscription, the school will be able to save $5,000 over a two-year period."
