this

> next and this
next and this can cause confusion. Next in one of its senses is used to mean the day of the week, month of the year, season of the year, etc, that will follow next, as in "They are coming next Tuesday", "We are going on holiday next June" and "They to be married next summer". This can also be used in this sense and so ambiguity can occur. Some people use this to refer to the very next Tuesday, June, summer, etc, and use next for the one after that. Thus someone might say on Sunday, "I'll see you next Friday", meaning the first Friday to come, but someone else might take that to mean a week on from that because they would refer to the first Friday to come as "this Friday". The only solution is to make sure exactly which day, week, season, etc, the other person is referring to.
