#7I just cannot read the default hand-scrawl font on Excalidraw diagrams. I'm not dyslexic, but my brain looks at it and doesn't see words.

That is certainly the point where it started to feel arbitrary for me.

I’m of a mind to agree, if only because I like the idea last “Friday” was the one just past, and “the next Friday” is in 6 days!

#10> The Simple Rule
> If the Friday you’re referring to is beyond seven days from today, including today, it’s next Friday.
That's not a such simple rule. I'm not even sure what "including today" means.
A simple rule would be: next Friday is the first Friday after today.
The whole existence of this website suggests that the term "Next Friday" is at best ambiguous. Especially on a Saturday or Sunday, many people will interpret "Next Friday" as the Friday of next week. So just be explicit and say "Friday next week".
