on today vs for today

Both "on today" and "for today" are commonly used phrases in English, but they are used in different contexts. "On today" is typically used in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and informal speech, while "for today" is more widely accepted in formal and standard English. The choice between the two depends on the level of formality and the specific context in which they are used.
