Subject: Re: Thursday week



Bethany spake thusly:

"Do you know the expression "Thursday, week" (or it could be any proper name

of any weekday, "week")? In case you don't know the phrase, it means "a

week from this coming Thursday."



My British and Irish friends all use

"Thursday, a week" with the meaning

you describe.
