| Nov 24, 2014 at 20:25 | comment | added | Blessed Geek | "this idiom is considered archaic". It is not idiomatic or archaic. If it is "archaic", shouldn't I be able to find the phrase in Shakespeare, KJV or Edgar Ellen Poe? It is probably an awkward use of the Latin per, sometimes used in legal documents in place of the phrase in pursuant to. Since per (but not as per) is prevalent in use in legal documents, it is not archaic. Since it means what it means as it means, it is not idiomatic. | |

It would be more appropriate if you have so concrete, tactical, question to resolve. | |
