   @youronlyone What about when someone says “next weekend” on a Thursday

     @seanwithwords Good question!

     The way I understand it, “next weekend” if said on a Thursday, using the date example above, is August 17 and 18.

     Not the weekend that is a day or two away; but the after it.

     If it was said on a Tuesday, it naturally comes across for me as “this weekend”.

     If said on a Wednesday, I have to clarify. LOL.

     @youronlyone

     next weekend would be the 17th and 18th
     this weekend would be 10th and 11th
     the answer doesn’t change based on the day of the week
     coming weekend would get someone slapped with an absolute calendar
