Those are different meanings.

I can hold a meeting every January and then again in December. That's twice a year, or once in each half of the calendar year.

That's not the same as holding a meeting at least every six months.

If I must hold a meeting at least every six months, then if I hold a meeting in January, I must hold another by July. If I hold another one sooner

Hi,

You might also want to look at the word 'biannually'. But that's used less often, perhaps because it tends to be confused with 'biennially'.

Newguest, it depends on the what the meaning IS. Is it at least every six months, or twice a year?
