- history - Change from to-day to today - English Language Usage Stack . . .
I grew up writing 'to-day' and 'week-end' (in 1950s' Britain) Common pairings of words seem, first, to be linked with a hyphen, then to become one word I did not feel any differently about 'to-day' than I do these days about 'today'
- By the end of today or By the end of the day [closed]
I believe either is acceptable I have always used "by end of business" which normally means by 5pm I think that it depends on who you are sending the email to If it is a superior you might want to reconsider and define an exact time deadline If it is to a subordinate giving a general time frame like end of today or end of the day would be fine

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)
- Today in the past - English Language Usage Stack Exchange
It was the 1st of April, 2006 Today had been the worst day of my life seems awkward, as today is not understood to mean on this day (the original meaning) In narrative, an event that is happened in the past is narrated as it is the present, as in: It is the 1st of April, 2006 Today will be the worst day of my life
