I came accross a sentence in the PMBOK that might contain a typo (Not sure though) :

Section 13: Project Stakeholder Management - Page 413, Clause 13.4.3.1 (Work Performance Information), Paragraph 1, Third Line:

"Data per se are not used ......"

Is "se" a typo, if not then what is meant by it?

I believe it's a latin expression; I checked Wikipedia and found:

Per se: Also "by itself" or "in itself". Without referring to anything else, intrinsically, taken without qualifications etc. A common example is negligence per se. See also malum in se.

Hence, I believe that it is not a typo.

Thank you Edward - That makes so much sense. I checked online but for the word se alone - I should have checked "per se" as one word !

In general. At least 80 - 90% of words are borrowed from Greek, Latin & others. Mainly from Latin. Many words has Latin origin in English dict.

Spending time in Projectmanagement.com as reminded me not to rely too much on idioms and non-English expressions since English is not the primary language for a large part of the community.

I agree for sure. However, I was referring to the PMBOK in my question.

Question: Why did Rami think per se was a typo?
Answer: Because the expression is based in a non-English language.
Lesson Learned: When you have a broad, international community, avoid expressions that may be unfamiliar to the readers.
