Generally written as two words until 16c., after which it usually was written to-day until early 20c. Similar constructions exist in other Germanic languages (cf. Du. van daag "from-day," Dan., Swed. i dag "in day"). Ger. heute is from O.H.G. hiutu, from P.Gmc. hiu tagu "on (this) day," with first element from PIE pronomial stem ki ...
They’re used in different ways. If you’ve simply forgotten what day of the week or day of the month it is, say 'What day is it today?' If you want to confront your husband, wife or partner over forgetting your anniversary, say 'What day is today? See if you can remember.' –
Today means "the current day", so if you're asking what day of the week it is, it can only be in present tense, since it's still that day for the whole 24 hours. In other contexts, it's okay to say, for example, "Today has been a nice day" nearer the end of the day, when the events that made it a nice day are finished (or at least, nearly so).
10. Juni 2015 · One of the answers to this question states that "We shall discuss it in our today's meeting" is grammatically correct. To me, that sentence is clearly wrong. While in today's meeting is fine and in our today meeting is OK ish (though at the very least clumsy), there's something about the possessive there (our today's) that makes it wrong for me.

It means 'till today' or 'uptil now'. Not many here would feel it to be wrong. Those who do will be those who have had a thorough grounding in British or American standard usageGiven that a pretty huge population in India uses the term for communication with one another, I think it is about time that English users from other countries recognise that there exists an unwritten Indian English ...
4. Juli 2019 · Wisconsin. English - United States. Jul 4, 2019. #3. It’s an odd sentence. I would only use “by today” with a different tense, such as “I should have finished this project by today,” or I” had hoped to finish this project by today.”. To express the idea that I will have it done before today ends, I would say “I’ll finish this ...
19. Apr. 2011 · Neither are clauses, but "today in the afternoon" is grammatical (adverbial phrase of time), while "today afternoon" is not. I would also suggest "this afternoon" as a more succinct and idiomatic alternative to "today in the afternoon".
31. Okt. 2011 · 1. "Nowadays." while standard English, has a colloquial ring. "Today" is preferred in academic writing. Academic writing requires a more elevated register, which the adverb "nowadays" does not meet. The matter is simple: read published articles in academia and compare the frequency of "nowadays" versus "today."
10. Apr. 2020 · 1 is by far the most natural way to say it. 2 is wrong. 3 is okay, but there’s no obvious reason to spell it out like that.
