today

[AirbusA321]

Is "today" correct or should it better be "nowadays" or "these days"?

When I was younger, I used to play tennis every weekend but today, I don't do that anymore.

I'd use "these days" followed by simply "I don't".

"Anymore" at the end renders all three options redundant and unnatural. Without "anymore", either "nowadays" or "these days" is OK.

Are there any differences in meaning at all between these terms?
nowadays
these days
at the present day
in this day and age

 

[GoesStation]

"Nowadays" and "these days" are near synonyms. "At the present day" is unnatural, at least in American English. "In this day and age" is a wordy, usually negative, way to say "now".

 

[emsr2d2]

"At the present day" is unnatural in BrE too.
