grammar usage in America. Nowadays sound quaint
and countryish, and to see it written seems unprofessional
and I feel like correcting it always to nowdays.

It feels funny that British feel that nowdays is wrong
and unprofessional. This is another example of how
the English language is full of variation, and alternative

I tutor writing at a technical college, and I've seen "now days" so many times that I almost don't notice it anymore. I'll have to agree with you; I hate the word "nowadays" anyway.
