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)?

    It means: The next time it is Saturday. that is when they are referring to. It takes all of a three-year-old to understand this, and I pity anyone lacking that level of intelligence.

    If reading comprehension, and the general intelligence of the public has sunk so far that even such a basic phrase is now unintelligible to people, it’s no wonder that Donald Trump is about to be reelected as president of the United States.
