next Wednesday is the Wednesday of next week. This Wednesday was yesterday. But using the word "coming" helps to differentiate them.

wait, he's saying that he would assume it's the 5th?Because that's what it is. Next Wednesday means next Wednesday, not this coming Wednesday. --- The most relaxing version of Aquatic Ambiance I've ever heard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl61y1XM7sM ... Copied to Clipboard!

It would be the 29th. The only way it could have ambiguity is if they say "next Wednesday" on, like, Sunday the 19th and you weren't sure if they meant the 22nd or 29th. "This coming" is a way to clarify that you mean the upcoming in cases like that, but it's not the standard, expected English for it, "next" is.

I would have never thought this was ambiguous until this topic. I would never believe believe next Wednesday to be anything but the 29th. Though I always qualify dates such with 'next Wednesday, the 29th'.

Same here. I'm legit confused. For something to come "next" it has to come after something. So when people say "Next Wednesday" people (like myself) see that as the Wednesday that's after the first Wednesday.

I've never once heard someone use the phrase "next Wednesday" on a Monday or Tuesday when they meant the Wednesday of the same week.

Nope, as you'd say "this Wednesday" if you meant that. I wouldnt. Nor have I really heard anyone say it like that. Because thats weird. Id only say this Wednesday if it was Sunday - Tuesday. Even on a Saturday (and possibly Friday), I might say this coming Wednesday. But next Wednesday works, as well... Which is probably why when people say this Wednesday on a Thursday or Friday, people correct you saying, You mean next Wednesday? Since you them, this Wednesday is already over. Because its the same week and all. And Wednesday just happened... And you wouldnt say last Wednesday on a Thursday if you meant yesterday... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
