Ludwig's WRAP-UP
The phrase "as supposed in" is flagged by Ludwig as grammatically incorrect despite appearing in some written materials. While the intent is often to refer back to an assumption, expectation, or previously stated idea, it is advisable to use more standard alternatives such as "as suggested in", "as proposed in", or "as hypothesized in". These alternatives ensure clarity and grammatical correctness, making your writing more effective and credible. The occasional usage in news or scientific articles does not validate its correctness, and writers should, therefore, opt for more appropriate and well-established phrases.
