What does this mean to you and where do you live?

[Thistledew]

"As of next week Mrs X will be coming back for Outdoor Learning and Art sessions for each class... Class 1 will have their session on a Friday morning."

Would this mean to you that:

A) Mrs X will be coming on one specific Friday.
B) Mrs X will come on every Friday henceforth.

And where in the country do you live?

I misinterpreted a message from DS's school and am wondering if I am just a muppet or if this is a dialect issue, as we have very recently moved to a new part of the country (UK).

I've also lived all over and the 'a' is a perfectly normal way to signify every but starting with 'as of next week' makes it 100% clear it's every.

Assuming your child is in class 1
Then mrs X is returning And your child’s lesson with her is Friday morning

Whether she’s back only on Fridays or other days doesn’t matter as your child’s lesson is Friday

And then every Friday after that

I would think it a regular lesson starting next Friday

B-Scotland.

Every Friday south west

B london

I would have assumed B

I currently live in the East Midlands but have lived all over the place including Scotland, Essex, Suffolk, the North East and Cambridgeshire.

B south but not from the UK originally- english speaking background

Every Friday because it says "on a Friday" and not "on Friday" I'm in the South West.

B ,the use of 'a' implies the indefinite article which means it is not a specific date.

I'm in Yorkshire.

B I don’t think it’s dialect to assume ‘on a Friday’ means it’s a re-occurring event. My parents are both Londoners and would understand this.

Every Friday to me. I'm from the Midlands. I'm also an EFL teacher :)

On a Friday / On Friday / On Fridays can all mean a recurring event.

On a Friday would be an odd way to specify a singular event, unless there wasn't a specific Friday chosen and the person was asking you which Friday you prefer.

On Friday could refer to a recurring or singular event -the context would specify the meaning.

In any case, the context about singular/recurring was in the other sentence, where it said "As of next week".

I think if it said "On a Friday in November" you'd know it was a one off.

Work in a school and often say mr X sees yr 8 on a Friday lesson 1.

It's timetabled for a Friday (every Friday) every week for the next year

Every Friday, Norfolk

I understand it to mean B, but would have phrased it; "Class 1 will have their session on Friday mornings."

I'm from the Midlands.

B. Londoner who has lived in Yorkshire for 20 years.

B. Suffolk/Norfolk border.

Every Friday, I live in Scotland but I'm English (from the southeast)

B - southeast

B Spanish living in Wales

Indefinite article suggests it’s not a specific Friday.

It’s not dialect, just grammar? I’m really surprised you didn’t understand it. Did anyone else make the same mistake?

Hate these threads. So what's the bloody answer?!!!
