as of now

What does 'as of now' mean?
  

Top answer

Oddly enough, it is used in two situations. As of now (beginning at the present moment), there will be no excuse for arriving late to work. Less common: As of now (up to this point in time), we haven't heard a word from the hostages.

Also, I think it can sometimes simply mean "at the present moment", with no sense of "up to" or "starting from"; e.g. "As of now, my bank account contains £1,200".

Thanks for adding that. It's amazing how it can be used for all three time references!
