- Can/should I put a comma before a phrase's time specifier?
"I ate lunch, today." - VS - "I ate lunch today." In this case you normally wouldn't put a comma, as there's no need. The second one is perfectly uacceptable.

On the other hand, "today" is most often understood to me "in the current 24-hour period", so there could be times when using "today" to mean "the current era" could create an ambiguity. Usually the intent would be apparent from the context, but not necessarily.
