Do you mind if I ask where you’re from? This is the first time I’ve heard bi-lipid layer instead of lipid bilayer.

Australia. And I've just googled it, and I can't find it referred to as bilipid layer anywhere, so my best explanation is a little brain-fart that somehow mixed up the phrasing in my head and got stuck that way lol.

Thanks for catching it!

I would’ve thought that if bi-lipid layer was normal anywhere, it would be Australia. Everything is reversed there since you’re all upside down, no?

You might have googled the wrong place, google scholar has it: https://scholar.google.ca/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=bi-lipid+layer&btnG=

Not to take up anything from the answer as it’s amazing, but its two layers of lipids, so the bilayer is def more correct.
