How to use «As per» in context?
The article discusses the use of the word «as per» and offers tips for word choice.
As per English grammar, «as per» is a word used after a clause in order to provide clarity. Its use can be a sign of politeness, or it can indicate that something has been arranged according to a pre-existing agreement.
When arranging a meeting, it is polite to say «I will meet you as per your instructions.» This indicates that you have been informed of the meeting location and timeframe, and that you will follow those instructions.
When people write business letters and other formal documents, they sometimes use the word “as per” in one of the sentences. Many, however, look at this phrase as wordy and pompous. If you’re looking to hone your business or technical writing skills, you’ll want to use better words. This entails substituting the phrases “as per” and even “as per usual” with other terms.
Before we get to the synonyms of “as per,” let’s take a look at what this phrase means, determine if it’s grammatically correct and look at some examples.
What Does “As Per” Mean?
This adverbial phrase simply means “according to.” When you’re citing something or someone, you can use “as per.” When you add the words “your request,” the phrase becomes APYR, the internet slang for “as per your request.”
Careful writers typically avoid using “as per” because of the adverbial phrase’s jargonistic tone. They argue that using according to or in accordance with sounds more natural than “as per.”
Is Using “As Per” Grammatically Correct?
The phrase “as per” is redundant.
“Per,” minus the word “as,” communicates the same meaning. There are even some cases wherein you can drop the word “as.” This is especially true with the everyday phrase “as per usual.”
Does this automatically mean that you should stop using “as per” the same way you’d stop using “bare with me?” The answer is not necessarily.
The choice of using “per” or “as per” is entirely a matter of taste, just like comradery and camaraderie. An article from Grammarist found that “as per” is especially common in Indian publications. The reason may be due to Indian English descending primarily from the language of Colonial Service Administrators who were fond of such jargon.
What’s more, you’ll find people using the more ponderous “as per” in legal or business prose. You can also find this adverbial phrase in writing that tries to adopt a formal tone.
Setting the record straight, the words “as per” is not incorrect to use.
Some, however, just find this phrase overly legalistic and decide to avoid it for this particular reason. Just like in many matters of diction, the tonal requirements of a particular passage should guide your word or phrase choice.
How Do You Use “As Per” in a Sentence?
Now that you know the meaning of “as per,” let’s now see how to use this phrase in a sentence. Here are some examples:
- Cook the spaghetti in a pan of salted water as per the directions on the container.
- These treatments are as per the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
- Lunch, as per her request, consisted of lobster risotto and beef wellington.
- Please don’t forget to tuck the kids in bed and say good night to them as per our agreement.
- As per the latest research, people can use bamboo to build doors and windows.
Alternative Words: What Can I Use Instead of “As Per?”
If you want to improve your writing, you’ll want to avoid using “as per” and opt for other synonyms instead. Just make sure that your word or phrase choice will not change the meaning of the sentence.
Here are a few synonyms along with sentences to help you use these phrases correctly:
According to
- According to the latest census, individuals residing in the northwestern part of the country look after sick relatives, live out of wedlock and are in poor health.

Bonus Guide: What Can I Use Instead of “As Per Usual”?
You can drop the word “per” and just go with “as usual.”
You can also drop the word “as” and just use “per usual.” If you want other examples, do check out these other synonyms (along with one example sentence) that you may use to replace “as per usual”:

The phrase “as per” isn’t grammatically correct. It is, however, redundant and overly legalistic. Consider using other words or phrases if you want to sound a bit less stiff or formal in your communications.
Phrases
as per usual
: in the accustomed or habitual way : as usual
As per usual I tried to see into Myra’s mind and as per usual I got nowhere at all.—Gore Vidal
Did you know?
Many wonder whether the as in as per is superfluous. Wouldn’t the phrase “per your instructions” mean much the same thing as “as per your instructions?” In that case, would it be incorrect to insert the extra word?
The fact is that both per and as per have existed in English in the sense “according to” for a very long time–since the 15th and 16th centuries, respectively. The choice of which to use (or avoid) is entirely a matter of taste. The more ponderous as per is often found in business and legal prose, or in writing that attempts to adopt a formal tone. It is not incorrect to use, but some find it overly legalistic and counsel avoiding it for that reason. On the other hand, it has been used to good effect in facetious mock-business-English (“as per the President’s shiny new Environmental Policy Act”). As in so many matters of diction, the tonal needs of a particular passage should guide your choice.
