I have a Polish guest in my house, and she has been asking me about the
difference between 'this weekend' and 'next weekend'. Midweek, she would
expect 'this weekend' to refer to the coming weekend, and 'next weekend'
to the one after. In my opinion, they both refer to the coming weekend,
which seems illogical, and if you want to refer to the weekend after the
coming weekend, you should say 'the weekend after next'. I suppose this
is just another example of English being confusing.
