Talk:in lieu of

Can you use the phrase in this way?...

"I did not go to school. In lieu, I went to the beach."

In lieu of (=in place of) vs instead of
Instead of will not always suffice instead of in lieu of —e.g.: “The two were sent to jail in lieu of $100,000 bond or $50,000 cash bail.” --Backinstadiums (talk) 12:33, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
