2. If you say next month, you refer to the "very next" month (the equivalent of "this Friday"), whereas if you say "this month", you refer to the current month in progress (which has no equivalent for a day of the week of course where you would say "today Friday").

According to the internet's wisdom, the term "day after next" means a day that might never come - basically some day in the future, if any at all.

19 août 2018 · It is very difficult to be unambiguous with only the word next. If, on a Friday or Saturday, I say "Next Wednesday", most Brits will assume I mean the very next Wednesday, less than 7 days away. If I say it on a Sunday or Monday, some Brits will assume I mean the Wednesday more than a week away.
