argumentum a/e contrario

[edit]

Why is this Latin phrase argumentum e contrario in German and some other languages? --Espoo (talk) 20:04, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"as such"

[edit]

From the article: § 123 of the X-Law says that green cars need to have blue tires. As such, red cars don't have to have blue tires.

I don't think "as such" is the correct expression here and in the other two cases where "as such" is used. What's intended here, I think, is "thus" or "therefore." Here's the definition of "as such" from Merriam-Webster Online:

— as such: intrinsically considered : (example: in itself as such the gift was worth little)
