From now onwards?

Should anyone tell me what is the different between "from now on " and "from now onwards"?
  

Top answer

[/nq] I don't know, do they have a moral obligation to tell you? In case you meant the first word to be "Could", my answer is that "from now onwards" takes longer to say. I personally think "from now on" is the better of the two: it's certainly more natural and idiomatic.

One extra syllable, mainly. If you really want to
be one of the movers and shakers, you'll go
with "on a going-forward basis".

I just wonder why I never heard someone said "from now onwards" instead of "from now on, but there are a lot of newswriters who write "from now onwards" in their reports.

Neither. Correct: "Please don't send me any more email."
