   Wait, Bi-daily? So twice a day or once every two days? I assume the latter, but the definition of bi-[period of time] seems to go either way! How maddening!

     In a calendar context, the bi-prefix implies skipping one unit. In this case, it just means that the schedule is returning to MWF.

       Ah, okay. That makes a lot of sesnse. I see the schedule at the top has changed its wording to reflect this.

     Wait, that comment is two idea mashed together. This is harder on my phone.

     1) Even ENKIDU is appalled by your grammar, and she’s an uncivilized wild woman

     2) this naturally made me think of Where The Wild Things Are. Therefore Enkidu is King of the Wild Things.
