They are either showing their true colours or else are shamelessly obsequious.At this rate they will soon address each other as Comrades in Arms against the evil capitalist pigs.

In reply to Ruth.

In British English usage, when one says “next Tuesday,” it means the Tuesday coming up. In US English, “next Tuesday” means the Tuesday following the one coming up. Where the British use “next,” the Americans use “this.” For the American “next Tuesday” the British would use “a week Tuesday.”

From personal experience, this makes for missed appointments for someone using the British term in North America.

[Daphne – I don’t know why anybody would say ‘this Tuesday’ or ‘next Tuesday’ when it’s the one coming up. I just say ‘on Tuesday’. Keep it simple.]

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.
