[Misc] When is next Sunday?

[pauli cee]

There is no argument here whatsoever. If someone says "meet you next Sunday", and the other person doesn't understand, then you will have to clarify by saying;

"this Sunday coming" or " the Sunday after". The use of "next" in the above statement is wrong.

To avoid any obfuscation, the correct nomenclature for the original statement should be either "meet you this Sunday" or "meet you Sunday week". It's all in the way we speak, people. The words are there to avoid confusion, and the English language is a beautiful thing. Use it properly.

I like the cut of your jib, man

Disappointed at the comeback of "Club 5th May" here.

Sorry Bozza, but the next Sunday IS 5th May. You really should have used "Sunday week" or "the following Sunday".

Out of interest, if you arrived at the bus stop having just missed the bus, would you not get on the first one to come along as you are waiting for the next bus?

Assuming all buses at this stop go to your destination of course

In North America and somewhere else that escapes me, Sunday is the first day of the week......

I've always considered Sunday to be the first day of the week. I've never heard someone say Monday is.

This is going to start another argument, isn't it?

"Last Sunday" is the one just gone
"This Sunday" is the first one after today
"Next Sunday" is the one following This Sunday.

This, even though it doesn't quite make sense

It's not really an argument, its just different!! And is a right PITA (not as much as day month year/month day year).
(It's a Monday for me though )

Sunday is part of the WEEK-END; Monday is start of the week. Next Sunday is the the end of next week not this week.

Next game Man City

So Arsenal is this game, not next game then.
sorted!

 

[darkwolf666]

The next Sunday is 5th May

Looking at this today Thursday, the answer will be...

"The" next Sunday is indeed 5th May
This Sunday is 5th May
Next Sunday is 12th May

I'm guessing it depends at what part of the week the question is posed. For instance you wouldn't say next Sunday when you mean tomorrow, would you?

 

[neilbard]

Well?

Surely it all depends on what date you first read this thread? So the poll is in fact, limited and shoddy..

 

[Giraffe]

Sunday 5th May is THIS Sunday
Sunday 12th May is NEXT Sunday

Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

So Arsenal is this game, not next game then.
sorted!

Arsenal is this before next game after last game probably

The question is when is next Sunday, not when is the next Sunday.

This Sunday is the 5th. Next Sunday is the 12th.

Just left the office for the long weekend.

“See you this Tuesday!!” I said to a colleague, with a knowing smile.

Not a flicker from them.

When is after midnight? You can't get Gremlins wet after midnight(or is it feed them after midnight)? Isn't it always after midnight? And if it's always after midnight isn't it always after any time on the clock?

 

[Albion my Albion]

The question is when is next Sunday, not when is the next Sunday.

This Sunday is the 5th. Next Sunday is the 12th.

At one minute after midnight on 31 May, 2019 what month is next month?

Wrong! It's still June. One minute after midnight on 31 May is still May because it's 2 minutes after 23:59 on 30 May. So June is next month.

 

[Albion my Albion]

How could it possibly be the 12th chaps? Excuse me what's the date next Sunday? Oh, it's the 5th shirley!

The first four shirleys were not as exciting?, the first 11 chaps were of low quality?
