Ha, at least now I know how to use this form.
So if I understood you right, I can use present perfect for today when there's a possibility for something to happen today again, but when something has been done completely, and you know that it's going to happen for today as well, then you can't use this form.
What will the right thing to say: I've had a great lunchtoday, or: I had a great lunch today (you're not supposed to have another lunch today, maybe dinner only)? :wink:
