Well, for us (being Seventh-Day-Adventist) we keep Saturday (Sabbath)<br>
free from work and free from housework and Sunday is the day where we<br>
put all the work that is left over from the week before. So of course,<br>
it is still weekend, but it is also the beginning of our week.<br>
<br>
But "this weekend" reminds me of another quirk: for me<br>
* "this weekend" is the weekend that follows immediately,<br>
* whereas "next weekend" is the weekend that follow after "this
weekend".<br>
<br>
But I freqently notice that quite some people do not see it this way<br>
and say "next weekend" when they mean actually "this
weekend".<br>
