It’s the day after “now”.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you say, “The next day,” then where’s your anchor? You need context to know which day you are measuring from. “Tomorrow” already has the context of “today” from which you measure “tomorrow”.</div><br class=""><div class="">
