"By the end of today" or "By the end of the day" [closed]

Which is the correct (or more correct) expression:

  • By the end of today
  • By the end of the day

My context is a promise to send an email today (i.e., before tomorrow).


Solution 1:

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.
