Next week monday

The question regards the phrase "next week monday." (Please include the question in the body of your message; not all readers display the subject line.)

It is reasonably clear, I think. Written on the 22nd of July, 2003, it would refer to the 28th of July, 2003, which is the monday of the next week. I am not sure what context you would put the phrase into, so its correctness is not absol

Yes, it is one of the ways you can say it to make yourself absolutely clear. I have not heard this particular form used much in England, but on Tuesday 22 July (today) I would certainly understand your expression to mean Monday 28 July. "Monday of next week" is more common here in England.

Your question exposes a troubling difference between the usage in Warwick (where I come from) and t

I forgot to add that ambiguities arise in AmE wrt this whole thing, which is why we also have "this coming Friday" and "Friday of next week" available if necessary.

If I did not mean next Friday (ie the first one to arrive) but the following one, I would say:

... the Friday after next.

But some would say

... Friday week or even ... Friday next of next week,

If I were to say it, I'd mean the next avaliable Friday.

However today I'd be more likely to say, "see you the day after tommorrow"

but if I was making a fairly improtant, or even vaguely important appointment I'd use the date "i'll see you o
