Let’s imagine it’s currently Wednesday the 1st. Does “next Saturday” mean Saturday the 4th (the next Saturday to occur) or Saturday the 11th (the Saturday of next week)?

    It means: The next time it is Saturday. that is when they are referring to. It takes all of a three-year-old to understand this, and I pity anyone lacking that level of intelligence.

    If reading comprehension, and the general intelligence of the public has sunk so far that even such a basic phrase is now unintelligible to people, it’s no wonder that Donald Trump is about to be reelected as president of the United States.

      It means not the Saturday that is coming because that one is just Saturday but the next Saturday so the 11th to use OP to use example
