Could another direct translation be "as such." That is, in most cases 'per se' can be replaced with 'as such'. --Zikar 19:21, 12 May 2006 (UTC) Ditto, this is what I was taught is the meaning as 'per se' - as such. --81.109.165.33 08:48, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Is it pronounced like per say? 61.229.154.161 17:25, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Yerh I agree, as such. Also, it is pronounced 'per say', yes. On another note, kudos to whoever added the example. Very funny!
Is this Latin expression used exclusively in English arguments? That's what the article wording seems to mean... --Gutza T T+ 14:14, 6 September 2006 (UTC) In Danish scholar text the term "per se" is also used. So it's not in English only, that the latin term is used.
Common usage? edit
Out of interest, how many time have you heard "It's not that singing 'happy birthday' is bad per se, it's just that you shouldn't have been singing it at the funeral" said? :P. Ck lostsword|queta! 15:53, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Why is this nominated for deletion? Maybe a move to wiktionary?
