RFV discussion: May 2011–February 2012
Tagged but not listed (Hippietrail). IMO, both forms are attestable, but which one should redirect to which, presumably the more attestably popularly used term? TeleComNasSprVen 01:00, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
 * At COCA "as is" is nearly 1500 times more common than "as-is". DCDuring TALK 01:35, 21 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Passed as clear widespread use. I also created as-is. - -sche (discuss) 01:04, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Use without quotation marks
In the requisite sense, "as is" is often used in quotation marks. Furthermore, "as is" often does not inflect for grammatical number and tense, as in 'the items were purchased "as is"'.

Some searches: Beware that these searches find many occurrences that are not of the requisite sense, such as "In the spring and summer only as many are purchased as are necessary to supply the losses that have occurred ...". --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:32, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
