  • I find that people generally use “this” and “next” correctly but it depends how the week is being perceived. I think it might depend what day of the week it currently is. Like if it’s Sunday, someone might say “next Saturday” to mean the first coming Saturday. But if someone says “next Saturday” on a Thursday they definitely mean the second coming Saturday.









  • Goggle translate doesn’t have Louisiana Creole since there is only 10k speakers. Haitian Creole is actually the only Creole language it has. Probably because there are 12 million speakers and they have a decent population in the US.

    I don’t know why you call me lazy for not doing hours of research for a quick comment letting you know 2 languages are different. I didn’t say that they weren’t similar. They are distinct. Especially in writing the differences would be obvious due to spelling differences to words that are pronounced similarly. I found some Louisiana Creole online to show you the difference:

    English: Where do you come from?
    Louisiana Creole: Éyou to sòr?
    Haitian Creole: Ki kote ou soti?

    English: What did you say?
    Louisiana Creole: Ki ça to di?
    Haitian Creole: Kisa ou te di?

    Some things are very similar and some things are very different. But especially when written, they are obviously distinct.
