Bet On The Meaning Of "Next"



In a letter dated November 18, Kevin S. Law, Chair of the New York Gaming Facility Location Board, writes: 

"We are scheduled to meet again this upcoming Friday, November 21. We expect to be able to make a decision at our next meeting."

Oh, so their next meeting is tomorrow when they will decide where they believe the casinos should go.

Yes?

Well, no.  Apparently by "next" they mean "next after the next."

Which leads the Uncle to have slight concerns about their grasp of  English and logic. 

Which wouldn't really matter, except these are the folks who will recommend where the damned casinos will go.

The Uncle is in a pissy mood today.
