An Academic Look at AEAP

AEAP is an adverb of time. An adverb of time modifies a verb to describe when the verb occurs. For example:
  • "I will arrive AEAP."
    • (Here, AEAP modifies the verb to arrive.)
Of note, AEAP is an initialism abbreviation. Technically, this means it is pronounced using its individual letters (i.e., Aay Ee Aay Pee), but as this is harder to say than "As early as possible," it is not often uttered using its letters. In other words, the abbreviation AEAP is for efficiency in writing and not efficiency in speech.
