True, the house I'm selling is infested with termites, but I'm not going to hire exterminators to fix the situation, so if you want the house, you'll have to buy it as is. (Second choice: as it is.)
Sorry. I cannot contribute to your favorite charity. I'm already broke as it is. (as is won't work.)

So Jim, as in some cases 'as is' works better but in other cases 'as it is' works better, I think there has to be a semantic difference.
What do you think the difference is?

I'm talking about 'as is/as it is' with nothing following 'is', Clive.
Well then, what about these?
·Leave it as it is.
·Leave it as is.
Do you think both work? If they do, do they mean the same thing?
