I had an Irish psych prof in University who said (on a Tuesday class):
"We'll be having a short in-class essay assignment next Thursday"
And, when we showed up to class two days later, lo and behold.... we had a short in-class essay assignment to complete. Horrifying.
So, possibly not everyone means "next week's day-in-question".
A thought: If it's Thursday today, and I say "can you get this to me by Thursday", would you think I was referring to the current day, or the one that occurs in the following week (i.e. 7 days later)?
