Let's use the calendar below. (It happens to be Feb 2007.)
If today was Wednesday the 14th and someone said, "next weekend" would they be referring to the 17/18th, or the 24/25th?
What if they said, "this weekend"?
Does that refer to the weekend in the past, the 10/11th, or the 17/18th?
I ask because someone in the PS 2.0 thread just used, "this weekend" to refer to the one that just past - also today is Thursday so we are closer to the weekend in the future than the one in the past.
How do you use these terms?
Does everyone around you use the terms the same way, or is it clarification ever needed?
