Last Tuesday

becca had a quick thing to say said Thu, Aug 14th 2014 at 9:20am ET

Anyone else keep getting confused by all the lasts? To me, last Tuesday is the Tuesday of last week, not this week. Two days ago ≠ last Tuesday in my mind. Meh.

"medz commented a day ago."

Wouldn't "Last Tuesday" mean there aren't going to be any more Tuesdays? I mean, if it is indeed the "last" Tuesday...

So then how would you refer to the Tuesday from 8/12? "This Tuesday?"

- On Tuesday, I was already looking forward to Friday, in spite of the inevitable speaker dock sale.

- @darksaber99999 "This Tuesday" on a post would seem to imply speaking from the future!

I think I'll go back to the google-translated, Korean threads. They make more sense than any of this.
