I'm sorry, I know people use different definitions of this and next and so on, but how on earth can "a week on Wednesday" be the same as "two weeks today", when you say it on a Wednesday?

Today, one of our young writers told me he was going to Las Vegas for the weekend. He said he was concerned because his return flight on Monday was scheduled to be routed through Houston and he'd heard about Hurricane Ike bearing down.
So I says, "Houston? You have a problem." Just like that.
I'd like to tell you he laughed a good laugh, but he just kind of chuckled and carried on talking about his return flight.
If not for that, then for later in the day when he used it's instead of its. And last week he wrote 'better then' for 'better than'.
One more strike, I tells ya...
