Synonyms of "Day" and their differences
Q:
What is the difference between How's your day? and How are you today? ?
A:
Both are a way of greeting and small talking with someone to check in with them. How's your day (going)? < refers to they're day in general. How are you today? < refers to the person's general state. But essentially these two questions are taken the same, because there is so much overlap between how someone's day is going and how they are feeling. BUT, not always. Some rare individuals can be having terrible things happen in their day, but can still stay positive / in a good mood. Takes practice. :)
