Iam Korean, and I find it very common to say "내일 모레" to mean the day after tomorrow.I say it almost everytime I need to say the day after tomorrow.It's not like there's an emphasis or anything here.It's just habitual.
In the meantime, it is totally fine to say just "모레."I don't see anything wrong with this either.It actually doesn't confuse me with 모래(sand) because I would be understanding terms in the context of time.
No, 내일 모레 is a not that definitive. It's just like an English speaker saying "tomorrow or the day after". It means they may do it but are not committing to an exact answer. I may add that 내일 모레 is quick speaking for 내일이나 모레.
In my language you can just keep adding a particle before "the day after tomorrow" and with every particle it becomes the day after that. I was just wondering whether there is a way to say this in Japanese.

Buzz words; sometimes I love them and sometimes not so much. You know the story. Disruption, for example, is a buzzword I've heard enough even though it is a real thing. I wonder how many people really and truly understand what it means; yet the term is thrown around like a rag doll on stages and in presentations nearly every day.
So when I ask the rhetorical question, "What Really Happens To Your Customers The Day After Tomorrow" I do so with some reservations because of how it might sound if you really don't know me. I do not want to sound like another "futurist" schmuck, because I really am not one.
The truth is that I've been in business as an owner, board member, investor and executive since the middle 80's; yeah now I might sound like an "old schmuck". Whatever you want to call me, when I discuss disruption and changing customers I've been living it and wrestling with it for over 30 years, most times with my ass on the line financially and otherwise. Not to sound wrong but it is a lot easier to opine on the subject when all you are risking is the loss of a paycheck. Our teams have had to worry about making payroll, launching new business concepts, over coming competition and mostly about the customer and what was happening with them so we could remain relevant, survive, and succeed. So when I share my content and thoughts I do so from the perspective of a pragmatic practitioner not some theorist.
At the IHRSA 2018 EU Congress in Lisbon this year I shared content on the customer, the user, or the member experience in fitness and what is happening today. The title is The New Era Of UX In Clubs And How Technology Is Making It Happen. Basically the presentation is about what is going on in how we service members in the fitness industry and what is coming. Most importantly it shares what organizations should be doing. It is also about how technology is impacting this. For me it is really nothing new, but for many as I am told, it scares them. Read on though and perhaps you might not be so scared and you might even understand why this is really important for anyone in any industry and why I work hard to share these views and solutions openly for everyone to read, argue with, and share.
For over 30 years I have witnessed first hand this thing they call "disruption" and its direct impact on organizations, industries, people, and customers. I have seen colleagues disappear into obscurity, businesses and organizations disappear with others soaring to success. Certainly there are many who have been impacted even more than I and have a deeper understanding and appreciation for the dynamics around customers and organizations over the past three decades. Regardless my experiences have been impactful to me personally, especially as I look at where things are now because they are truly moving faster than ever. When I reflect on the rate of change in the first decade of my career, it was nothing then like it is now.
I have had a few folks during the past decade not appreciate my views much at times. Those are mostly the representatives of the status quo, because change scares them. I've been referred to as thinking I am the smartest guy in the room and I hate when I hear that. I can hear a few "frenemies" chuckling now. You see some "leaders" really don't get the fact that where I am coming from is a place of urgency because I have felt the pain of not opening my eyes to change first hand. That really doesn't bother me because I do this to help those who are open minded to the future because those are the ones who will create a better way and meet the customer where they will be. This is a narrative I've experienced over and over again.
In the 1980's, before the Internet, we moved from mini computer systems to distributed networks in our business and I worked with NCR on the invention of a new era of point of sale and inventory control solutions for the restaurant business. Why ? Because by improving the speed of service, by lowering the cost of waste, we were able to deliver faster service times while maintaining lower menu pricing. It was a competitive differentiator because it addressed what was important to the customer - speed of service and menu value. Competitors that did not embrace these changes and others suffered and some went out of business.
In the 1990's, with the inception of the Internet, my teams and I worked to distribute our franchise systems to the Internet as an early adopter. We moved franchise lead generation and our delivery of franchise systems for a number of brands to the web and did so as a competitive differentiator, because it addressed what was important to our customers, in this case franchisees and their customers. We did this and other things, while others refused to embrace it and many of those folks failed.
Later in the 90's and the early 21st century we worked on health clubs, implementing membership software solutions, new marketing approaches, and in 2006 we launch Fitmarc deploying a complete adoption of cloud solutions like Salesforce.com to automate all of our business processes. We did this and many other things and still to this day in all of our companies. We are constantly challenging the status quo. We do this because we know there is opportunity but mostly because we realize if we do not we will be irrelevant. Again the point is addressing what is important to the member and the customer.
So when I share this content about the importance of your member, user or customer, or whatever you want to term them, and what will happen to them the day after tomorrow, it is not meant to scare, it is not some fiction, and it is certainly not a sideline. It is a message shared honorably to help folks get to work on preparing for the day after tomorrow in the hopes that by doing these things they can reach their potential and take advantage of opportunities.

They\u2019re both correct, I asserted, because they both in fact are correct, and I added that the -racking form is perennially more popular than the -wracking form\u2014because it in fact is, as you can see in this handy chart:
That said, there are other similar-looking word pairs that are not quite so interchangeable,3 and that\u2019s what I meant to write about yesterday before I got distracted with thoughts about the Gershwins, The Bear, and Ernest Thesiger. (See \u201CHave a Potato.\u201D)
Since the mid-19th century, many grammarians have drawn a distinction between continual and continuous. Continual should only mean \u201Coccurring at regular intervals,\u201D they insist, whereas continuous should be used to mean \u201Ccontinuing without interruption.\u201D This distinction overlooks the fact that continual is the older word and was used with both meanings for centuries before continuous appeared on the scene. Today, continual is the more likely of the two to mean \u201Crecurring,\u201D but it also continues to be used, as it has been since the 14th century, with the meaning \u201Ccontinuing without interruption.
Marginally less confusing, perhaps, are \u201Cflounder\u201D and \u201Cfounder,\u201D the former meaning \u201Cstruggle to move\u201D and the latter meaning \u201Csink like a g.d. stone.\u201D Does it help to remember that floundering precedes foundering and that \u201Cflounder\u201D alphabetically precedes \u201Cfounder\u201D? I dunno, I just made that up, and I\u2019m pretty impressed with myself right now.
I find myself less mystified trying to distinguish between the verbs \u201Ccareer\u201D and \u201Ccareen\u201D mostly because I couldn\u2019t, if you held a gun to my head, tell you what either of them means, so it\u2019s straight to the dictionary every time to learn, and learn, and relearn, that to career is \u201Cto go at top speed in a headlong manner\u201D (thank you again, M-W) and to careen is . . . Well, it\u2019s a few things, including to lurch and to heel over (like a boat; why is everything today about boats?).
There are now slightly north of five thousand of you signed on for this little adventure of mine, and I\u2019m delighted to have each and every one of you aboard.12 I\u2019m particularly grateful to everyone who has, to date, contributed financially in larger or smaller ways to this endeavor, and if there\u2019s a part of you that\u2019s thinking \u201CYou know what? I like this guy\u201D and you want to join that contributing crew, I will be, of course, eternally (or at least monthly or annually) in your debt.
[Post-publication addendum: I suppose that I might well have registered/explained the difference between \u201Ctorturous\u201D and \u201Ctortuous,\u201D but it eluded me in the moment. For the record: \u201Ctorturous\u201D concerns torture, and \u201Ctortuous\u201D simply means twisty and turny, like a path or a great thriller.]
