One of us was not satisfied with the outcome of the last Poll. One of us has therefore decided that a similar, but different in an important way, question must be asked.
C'mon people. Do you want Spudly to come from a broken home?
Panda - I voted last time and now cause I would hate to see spudly coming from a broken home. What I am interested to know is what do you think is right.
Arrrgh!! This is hard! See I think it depends on the context created by the sentence containing "This Monday". See if it's Wednesday and you say "I'm GOING to the zoo this Monday." then obviously it's the Monday coming. But if you say "I WENT to the zoo this Monday... actually if you said that you'd sound like a plonker. Ok forget it, there's no context. It means the MONDAY THAT'S COMING UP.
Comments make blogging a conversation, rather than mere self-indulgent navel-gazing. Look at that big empty space down there...just waiting for your thoughts.

ReplyDeleteI hope this poll creates a little household peace. :)

ReplyDelete*feverishly prays she's picked the right answer*
I'd qualify and say 'this past Monday' but yes, if I say 'this Monday' I'd be talking about the one two days before the fact.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you don't agree? Maybe it's a Yank thing...
Voted. Good Luck!
