Thanks to everyone for your input. This has been driving me crazy for years thinking that I was off.

It always sounds like "who's on first" when my buddy and I are making plans.

"Okay, I'll meet you there this Friday"
"Next Friday... got it"
"This Friday.... at the end of the week"
"Right, the next Friday"

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH

I always end up saying the actual date, just to make sure were on the same page.

Also, I agree with those of you that say it depends on how close you are to that day. But, the way I see it, if it's Thursday I just say tomorrow. As of Wednesday, it is still THIS Friday (or if you're me and trying to avoid any confusion with your friend, you say "day-after-tomorrow").

To me, the only grey area is what you say when it IS Friday. Then I think I say NEXT Friday.
