There is no argument here whatsoever. If someone says "meet you next Sunday", and the other person doesn't understand, then you will have to clarify by saying;

"this Sunday coming" or " the Sunday after". The use of "next" in the above statement is wrong.

To avoid any obfuscation, the correct nomenclature for the original statement should be either "meet you this Sunday" or "meet you Sunday week". It's all in the way we speak, people. The words are there to avoid confusion, and the English language is a beautiful thing. Use it properly.

Out of interest, if you arrived at the bus stop having just missed the bus, would you not get on the first one to come along as you are waiting for the next bus?

Assuming all buses at this stop go to your destination of course

I've always considered Sunday to be the first day of the week. I've never heard someone say Monday is.

This is going to start another argument, isn't it?

It's not really an argument, its just different!! And is a right PITA (not as much as day month year/month day year).
(It's a Monday for me though :) )

Looking at this today Thursday, the answer will be...

"The" next Sunday is indeed 5th May
This Sunday is 5th May
Next Sunday is 12th May

I'm guessing it depends at what part of the week the question is posed. For instance you wouldn't say next Sunday when you mean tomorrow, would you?

Sunday 5th May is THIS Sunday
Sunday 12th May is NEXT Sunday

Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.

The question is when is next Sunday, not when is the next Sunday.

This Sunday is the 5th. Next Sunday is the 12th.

Just left the office for the long weekend.

“See you this Tuesday!!” I said to a colleague, with a knowing smile.

Not a flicker from them. ???

When is after midnight? You can't get Gremlins wet after midnight(or is it feed them after midnight)? Isn't it always after midnight? And if it's always after midnight isn't it always after any time on the clock?

At one minute after midnight on 31 May, 2019 what month is next month?

Wrong! It's still June. One minute after midnight on 31 May is still May because it's 2 minutes after 23:59 on 30 May. So June is next month.
