"as of" in Asperger's syndrome
Hi Kranix,
You reverted my past tense to the present in the the phrase "..Asperger's is estimated to affect 31 million people as of 2013."
I disagree. Where do you find evidence that this phrase should use the present tense?
In my opinion "..as of 2013.." should be typically used for, say, something that is valid forever afterwards and the verb should be in the past tense.
I think it unlikely that the figure of 31 million people affected by Asperger syndrome will stay the same forever.
So, in my opinion, the phrase should be "....in 2013, 31 million people were affected by Aspeger's."
I used https://painintheenglish.com/case/4162/ and http://blog.harwardcommunications.com/2012/04/02/as-of/ as sources.
Do you agree? SylviaStanley (talk) 11:27, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
