Dirtyhip Posted March 30, 2021 Share #6 Posted March 30, 2021 People seem to get confused about this Saturday or Next Saturday. Next Saturday is the 10th of April. This Saturday is the 3rd of April. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would seem weird to say Next Saturday sometime in July and know that you were referring to April 10th. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At last my job one of the founders got all over me about the use of This & Next. I refer to This & Next like @Dirtyhip does but the person saw it like you mention above. So for clarity sake I confirmed the date. Call it this or next I don’t care, we’re meeting April 3rd. Co Founder: Right, next Saturday... whatever...

This Saturday is the 3rd of April. I find that to be interchangeable, and to mean the same Saturday that is upcoming. It will always require clarification, much like "Monday is the first day of the week, you dolt". "The next Saturday after this one" is the clarification that is needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
