Re: The phrase "next two weeks"

Hi,
I have a doubt regarding the usage of phrase "next two weeks". For eg, If somebody mailed me and said that "he won't be available the next two weeks", what does it mean assuming that the mail was received on Saturday (02/08/2014)..Does it mean that he won't be available from (03/082014 to 10/08/14) ? Please respond....

Thank you.

Depending on the source, the exact date may not be certain. In this case, it appears that the dates in question are totally out of synch with "two weeks". Do you need to revise the dates?

I think there is some confusion in my question. Actually I received a mail last Saturday from a Prof. saying that he won't be available the next two weeks. Now, can you tell me when he wouldn't be available or when would he be available ?

Thank you

If he writes on 2 August saying that he won't be available for the next two weeks, then he will not be available again until 17 or 18 August, It's not clear whether he means he will be unavailable for fourteen days or two weeks at work.
