Atimes

Atimes is a term used in different contexts and does not have a single, universally accepted meaning. Its interpretation depends on the surrounding material, the field, and the branding of any specific entity that uses the name.

In online media contexts, ATimes is sometimes used as a shorthand for Asia Times, an online news publication that covers political, economic, and cultural affairs related to Asia and beyond. The stylized form ATimes can appear in branding or citations, but it does not denote a distinct publication apart from Asia Times itself.

Outside media, atimes may occur as part of software project names, file identifiers, or other branded terms created by various organizations. In these cases, the use of atimes is incidental and unrelated to any particular organization unless explicitly stated. It is not uncommon for multiple, unrelated projects to adopt similar names.

In standard English writing, the adverb meaning occasionally is correctly written as two words, “at times.” The single word “atimes” is not a standard form in formal prose and should be avoided unless it is clearly part of a brand or technical identifier. Because the term appears in different contexts, readers should rely on surrounding context or explicit clarification to determine the intended reference. See also Asia Times; disambiguation is advised when encountering the term in mixed contexts.
