That's what I said. He was claiming the weekend cutoff philosophy.

I think the cutoff is the weekend.

Today, a Thursday, I would say next Tuesday. That's next week.

Once Saturday rolls around, it'll be this Tuesday.

The one that just passed is commonly and logically referred to as "last Tuesday" or just "Tuesday".

Next Tuesday means two Tuesdays from now. If it were the one coming up, it would be called "This Tuesday".

I have literally never heard a single person say this.

next tuesday

I would just say "tuesday" or "on tuesday" if talking about the 5/19

Really the only thing that matters is the context and whether you are using past (5/19) or present/future tenses (5/26)

Since when does next mean you skip one?

Do you skip a house when you say next door neighbor?

When someone says to you it is the next street do you skip a street and turn on the next one, in which case you skip that street because it is the next one.

It is May 21. When you say next month you mean July?

What about when a football player gets hurt and they say, "next man up" Do they skip the 2nd string and put the 3rd stringer in the game?

It just seems a little retarded to tell someone "next Tuesday" on Friday night then wake up Saturday morning and refer to the exact same event as "this Tuesday." I'm right, he's wrong as always

"this Tuesday" or "next Tuesday" ??? Huge dispute going on right now over this


This is very subjective. I take "this Tuesday" and "next Tuesday" to be comparable, but context and usage varies and I recognize that.

This or next refers to the week in which Tuesday falls. So "this" tuesday was on 5/19, as it was this week. "Next "Tuesday is 5/26, as it is next week. Come Sunday, "this" Tuesday will now refer to 5/26
