Let’s imagine it’s currently Wednesday the 1st. Does “next Saturday” mean Saturday the 4th (the next Saturday to occur) or Saturday the 11th (the Saturday of next week)?

    I’d clarify with them but probably the 4th. As a kid I was raised that “this X” is the next one and “next X” is the one after that. But as an adult I can’t say I’ve ever talked to someone who actually used it that way. Instead “this X” and “next X” mean the same thing (the next one after today)
