Do you mean "per se"?
This is Latin and means "in itself" or "with reference to itself"; in other words you're talking specifically about the subject in question and not about things related to the subject.
"Guns aren't dangerous, per se, however some of the gun owners are."

I was just about to spell the term incorrectly in an email at work ( as "pur say"). Thanks for clarifying it.

Same here. I was just typing up a post for my guild and didn't know exactly what it meant, so I Google'd for "Per say" and this was the first thing I saw.
Sad part is that I actually took three levels worth of Latin classes and I didn't know that. Go figure. Hahahah
Thanks a bunch!!

Is per say ever correct to use? If so, how do you know whether to use per say, or per se?

The correct spelling is grammar. ![Smile [:)]](/emoticons/emotion-1.gif) And for those thinking this is ironic, it's not.
