Ludwig's WRAP-UP
In summary, the phrase "subsequent off" is generally considered grammatically incorrect and lacks a clear, established meaning in standard English. Ludwig AI confirms this assessment. While the individual word 'subsequent' is commonly used in formal and scientific writing to indicate something that follows in time, the addition of 'off' creates an ungrammatical and unclear phrase. It's advisable to use alternatives like "following", "afterward", or "subsequent to" to ensure clarity and grammatical correctness. The limited examples available across various sources such as news, media and science underscore its rare and questionable usage.
