This day

Hi,

If I'm not mistaken, quite a few languages, or at least conlangs, use "this
day" for "today" (correct me if I'm wrong). How do they deal with situations
like this:

A: When should we plan the meeting?
B: How about this day (points at calendar)?

(Even English uses "this day" in some situations, like "To this day, frogs
still...")

Same for this time (now), this place (here), etc.

-Leon
