  • Understanding "as of", "as at", and "as from"
    1. AS OF would mean "at a certain time onward". AS AT would mean "at a precise time of event". AS FROM would mean "at a certain time onward" just like AS OF, but I still don't quite get it. That leads me to go back and use SINCE. Much simpler and people use it in writings and speeches.

    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).

  • Why is "today morning" wrong but "tomorrow morning" right?
    Google Ngram suggests that "today morning" (in blue) is virtually non-existent but nonetheless there are rare instances. However, on closer inspection I noted that the phrase was often separated with a comma such as: For ten minutes, twice today, morning and evening, let the idea for today sink deep into your consciousness.
