but wait, because there is a common expression that really rustles my jimmies, that is “au jour d’aujourd’hui” which basically means “as of now”, but if you translate it literally it becomes “in the day of the day of today”
if i could physically kill the french language i would
Also your word for “today” is actually five words in a trenchcoat. “aujourd’hui” is “a + le + jour + de + hui” in which “hui” is the etymological “today”, same route as Spanish “hoy” and Italian “oggi”. You pompous bagel eaters can’t just say “today”, you have to say “In The Day Of Today”.
