what does "as from" mean.

It doesn't have a particular meaning that I am aware of. Can we have some context?

Is that what you want to know? :idea:

as of/from: starting from a particular time or date.
e.g. As from next month, all the airline's fares will be going up.

Henry's right- it sounds perfect to my ears. ;-)

It doesn't sound right to me either. At least in AE, we would use "as of".

The only use I can come up with gor "as from" would be as part of an analogy: As from the top of a waterfall, his emotions gushed forth.
