A week from yesterday; two weeks from yesterday.
You'd think that clears everything up, wouldn't you? But to say "this
Tuesday" on a Thursday does *not* mean "five days from now", to me. I
don't think it means anything at all. On Friday it's still
questionable. By Saturday it's stabilized, and on Sunday the meaning
is obvious.
Obviously week-divisions are important to me, and occur sometime on
Saturday.
