Hi all,
I was wondering if get along with and get on with have some slight differences in their meanings or they could be used as synonyms.
(I apologize if the topic has been already discussed, I tried to search it but no posts have been showed up Embarrassed [:$])

In both their meanings (progress in & relate [well] to), I think they are reasonably synonymous, Francesca.  We may find that along is more AmE and on is more BrE.
