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)?

    Approximately 5 days before the day in question, “next” becomes “this”.

    That’s the answer.

    Excellent question that has always bothered me too.
