  1. Here's what chatgpt says: Unfortunately, the word "bimonthly" is one of those words in English that has two contradictory meanings, which can cause confusion. It can mean both "occurring twice a month" and "occurring every two months." To avoid ambiguity, it's best to use alternative terms like "twice a month" or "every two months" instead of "bimonthly." However, if you encounter the term "bimonthly" and you're not sure which meaning is intended, you should seek clarification from the person or context that is using the term.
  2. What does this word mean to you?

  4. With SVB failing due to a liquidity crisis (different than the FTX bank failing due to insolvency), there has been some panic amongst investors, bankers, the gov't and of course, average citizens. It has raised an interesting question from all - at one point does the gov't step in to insure banks to prevent them from failing (primarily from insuring the biggest clients don't go bankrupt). Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) had many large accounts, Circle, Roku, BlockFi, Roblox, all over $150m. This includes their investments, portfolios, staff wages, retirement funds, etc. Gov't usually only protects up to a maximum of $250k per acc. This is typically fine for personal accounts but obviously doesn't help when a corporation makes a bank run. So all of these companies would have been in serious trouble had SVB failed. But, that being said, SVB CEO lobied for less regulation from the gov't, then cashed out two weeks ago. A few days later, his bank fails, and now we need more gov't intervention -- a classic case of wanting it both ways (de-regulation when you're trying to grow, regulation when you fail). So what is the proper step to take? Should we let these big banks (Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Chase, etc) be bailed out by the govt? Or let them fail?
