Sorry, wrong answer. The dictionary definition of "biannual" allows for
both the "half" and "every two" interpretation.

Then you need a new dictionary. Unlike "flammable" and "inflammable", the
use of "biannual" for "every two years" is incorrect. Perhaps if enough
people persist in mangling the language, it will become accepted by the
general educated populace with that meaning, but until that happens, it
just ain't right.
