What does "for the foreseeable future" mean to you?

[Fordgalaxy]

I know the dictionary definition, but when you read that, what length of time do you envision?

If you've read the dictionary definition, why did you express your poll choices purely in terms of time?

Totally depends on the context.

 

I just bought a 2021 Buick, so this is what I'll be driving for the foreseeable future. (A couple years.)

 

I just had surgery, so I won't be golfing in the foreseeable future. (A couple months.)

 

The Timberwolves have a tough schedule upcoming. I don't see them winning much in foreseeable future. (A couple weeks.)

Depends on the situation and the expected length of the event in question.

I'd generally agree with the other posters but my initial thought is that it's a long time.

Foreseeable would be something I can exactly predict, so a matter of seconds. I could easily have an immediate major health downturn or my awesome house could collapse or my wife could get fat :lol: and that could change everything.

At least six months to a year unless it’s weather forecasting. Then it’s about 2 hours.
