Not this Tuesday (the Tuesday in this week), but next Tuesday. Your way "this Tuesday" and "next Tuesday" mean the same thing - if and only if it's not after Tuesday - no one has brought up the question: "What does "last Tuesday" mean?"
My way is, no matter if it's Monday or Wednesday, last Tuesday is still in last week, this Tuesday is still this week, and next Tuesday is in next week.
Now if I could just deal with moving appointments up and back, and know which choice is "the latter" without having to think in my head "former/latter, former/latter, former/latter..."
