This is a "Lets-End-This-Argument-Once-And-For-All" Poll.
Its all about what one means by "this week" and "next week". One of us (I wont say which, so as not to skew the voting) thinks that "next Saturday" means the Saturday that is coming up next, (e.g. in two days). The other thinks that "next Saturday" means the one that is in the week after the current week.
This argument has been going on for about two years. We've vox-popped all our friends and the votes are split. We need an international perspective.
We both think the other's perspective is completely fucked.
Its up to all of you to save our marriage. So please, vote wisely!
Ah... no help here... Attila and I disagree... surprised???
ReplyDeleteHe thinks 'next Saturday' means the Saturday of the following week... because he thinks one would say 'this Saturday' if they were meaning the next Saturday to arrive.
I think 'next Saturday' means the next Saturday to arrive... because otherwise one would say, "the Saturday after next"...
So... even in Canadada we're confused on the matter.
Ah yes.. sounds familiar. Living in a ttc and then pg household with the most important issues being disputed. Ha, ha.
ReplyDeleteOh, it's all relative..."next saturday" on Monday is this coming saturday, while "next saturday" on Friday is the saturday after tomorrow's saturday...wait, I've confused myself...meh. It must be the hormones...I swear they're contagious!
ReplyDeleteHee Hee hEE! can't wait to see the outcome of the argument...but keep the kitchen implements out of it, ok?
What Manuela said, except I'm Attila and M is Manuela in our ongoing spat. So I fear the international perspective is probably not going to help much...
