"This ***day", means the day in this WEEK, eg: this tuesday is yesterday, This friday is the day after tomorrow.......and Next Tuesday is Feb 4. 03.

Wrong, if today is Wednesday, then "this Tuesday" means the coming Tuesday.

This, last and nextthe homework is due this friday - jan 31
homework is due next friday - Feb 7
Last week we had a fight and he came to apologize this monday - Jan 27
Last week my friend introduced me the KFC Tuesday special. It was really a good deal so this Tuesday I went again and bought 3. I ate them all by myself and got sick of it at last. So i guess next tuesday i will try something else.

today IS Wednesday, so there is NO such day as "this Tuesday", only "Tuesday passed" or yesterday , or "the coming Tuesday" which is Feb 4th, "this Friday" is Jan 31, and "next Friday" is Feb 7th.

This Tuesday = the coming Tuesday, or, as it is usually said, just "Tuesday".

Thanks. Given the many different answer, now it's only more confusing... :)

Totally wrong. Nobody is correct...I asked my native-speaking friends, and they said:
If today is Wednesday (Jan. 29), then:
this Tuesday must mean Feb. 4. (instead one says yesterday or last Tuesday for Jan. 28).
this Friday must mean Jan. 31.
next Tuesday is also Feb. 4.
next Friday could be Jan. 31 or Feb. 7, depending on the context.
In addition, they told me English is not a "precise" language...

跟我说的不矛盾吧？另外，如你所说，英语不严谨。当你说 Next Tuesday时，有人可能会理解为二月11日。
