I'm just curious how this works in practice.
When you say something like "Let's meet up this weekend", is it implied that you will meet on Saturday, since Sunday is the other end of next week, so technically a different weekend?
Honestly I think of Friday night and Saturday. Sunday feels more like its own thing,the beginning of the week. It's the day you do any unfinished chores to prepare for the week. If sometime wanted to "meet up this weekend" I would not assume they meant Sunday, unless they wanted to grab brunch.
The weekend, and more specifically “this weekend” or “this coming weekend” means both days - Saturday and Sunday.
Sunday being a part of next week on a written calendar does not even register as a potential date “problem” with my brain in day-to-day talk.
Not quite sure actually, I think we end up specifying a day or implicitly consider both of them
