Is there any case in which we can use 今日の間に?


I asked some Japanese and they said that 今日のうちに is practically useful but
今日の間に is impractical (never used).

Can anybody here give a confirmation about whether 今日の間に is really impractical
or not? Please also give me some examples.




I actually do see and hear 「[今日]{きょう}の[間]{あいだ}に」 once in a while, if not very
often. It may not be as common or even "proper" as 「[今日中]{きょうじゅう}に」, but it
would be utterly incorrect to say that it is "never used" as your friends seem
to have stated.

In fact, I just happened to find out that 「今日の間に」 is used as the first
definition of 「今日中」 [in this online
dictionary](http://www.weblio.jp/content/%E4%BB%8A%E6%97%A5%E4%B8%AD).

It is not a phrase that I recommend that Japanese-learners use actively, but
it sure exists and it is a fact.




I think 今日の間に is rarely used but 今日中に is in common use.
