Spot on, and not an opinion.

Depends on when he said it. If he said it last Friday, then it’s this week. If he said it today, then it’s next week.

At what point are "this" and "next" not synonymous?

Corn Pop

There's an implied "week" that goes with "next"

For me, "this _____" refers to a date between 1-6 days in the future.

I don't think so; it refers to a specific week. If on Friday I say next Tuesday

That's just always how I've used the terms. Makes sense to me. But this is just

Is he Irish or European? They say it differently than we do... and “next” is the very next even if in a day or two. US

Wednesday = 13th Next Wednesday = 20th. But it is a bit unclear.

We need the word “oxt”. Your use is colloquially understood, but technically doesn’t follow the dictionary def. “Next”

Correct, but using it wrong causes confusion

Die on? Lol! It’s obviously not clear to everyone or you wouldn’t have posted it. And it’s caused confusion many times

Sorry, should have specified weird hill for HIM to die on, not you

Yeah, it’s weird not to adjust. Some people forget that the whole purpose of language is to understand and be understood

mvtoro

That's because Wednesday is tomorrow

“This Wednesday” would be two days. “Next Wednesday” implies next week.

I’ve removed saying “this” and keep it to “next” and “following”

Removing "This" makes it more confusing.
