“As per ....”?

  • September 1, 2012, 4:17am

Few if any of the comments on this appear to take into account the flexibility and variation of the English language, with most contributors taking a prescriptive, if not disdainful and opinionated stance. As a translator, collaborator and editor for several professional and scientific publications, nowadays I am quite happy to see "as per" used as a synonym for "acording to" in most cases and consider it pecatta minuta.
