As of OR As at...

As of OR As at...

As of OR As at...

(OP)
Just want to know which is right -

"As of" or "As at"?

thanks, cheers and regards.

RE: As of OR As at...

Either could be used, depending on context.

RE: As of OR As at...

"Your debt as of today" is what I see the most.

Never see the "as at" thing...

RE: As of OR As at...

"We cannot give you a loan now, as at this time we do not know your social security number."

"Because" would be preferred.

RE: As of OR As at...

I do not see the "as at" as a construct. They are just two words used one after another.

RE: As of OR As at...

"Your debt as at 3pm yesterday afternoon"

Or

"Your debt as of yesterday"

Both seem OK to me. Have no idea what/if/which grammer rules would apply.

RE: As of OR As at...

I've heard

"Your debt as of 3pm yesterday afternoon" more.

The "as at" seems awkward in this application.

However, that's just a personal preference thing, I couldn't back it up with any Grammer rules I know.

RE: As of OR As at...

"As at" is a British thing, usually followed by a date.

RE: As of OR As at...

I am British.


"As at" doesn't sound right.

I've heard it but "as of" flows off my tongue better.

Like I said probably a personal preference thing.

RE: As of OR As at...

(OP)
Thanks guys. I should have clarified my question. (Was referring to cut-off or reckoning dates).

The project accomplishment as of 29 August 2006...
The project accomplishment as at 29 August 2006...

As at 29 August 2006, project's delay...
As of 29 August 2006, project's delay...

Change Orders approved as of 29 August 2006...
Change Orders approved as at 29 August 2006...

I tend to agree with Don's answer ("as at" + date is a chiefly Brit thing).

Thanks and cheers to all.

RE: As of OR As at...

humdinger,

I've never seen 'as at' used the way you are showing.

RE: As of OR As at...

Never seen it with dates.  Sounds awkward.

However, with a quick google, apparently it is often used with dates.
