What does it mean exactly by 'next time around'?
Does anyone know how to use this expression in context? I understand perfectly well the meaning of 'next time', but why should 'around' be added? Is it a kind of informal particle that shows modality of some kind? If so, is it hesitation?
Thank you very much.
