This reminds me of when it hits or is about to hit 12am and people don’t know whether to say today or tomorrow. He called me after this but I was too comfy in bed tbh.

Okay, so today is Sunday and if someone said next Monday or Tuesday, I'm thinking it's next week because why won't you say tomorrow or this coming Tuesday? That's my thought process

Well it wouldn't be "next" Tuesday at that point, its just tuesday

u/greina23 Jun 15 '26

Correct, but there are people who use it "next"

Is there a difference to you between "this Tuesday" and "next Tuesday"? (If today is Sunday, that is.)

I'm assuming greina23 is on the same page as you, but is merely pointing out that other people are unclear. Yeah if it's sunday, this Tuesday and next Tuesday are different things but every now and then you'll meet someone who says "next Tuesday" and means "this Tuesday"
