Friday  +  140777 Fri, 23 Sep 05 02:47 AM Hi folks, I haven't been able to sus this one out anywhere: A lot of writing I see lately have the phrases  "in regards to...", or in some cases "in respect to..." Surely it should be "with regard to..." and "with respect to..."?? Am I right or is it legit to say/write either?   Cheers   Friday Joined on Fri, Sep 23 2005 New Member 01 Regards

	CalifJim  +  140781 Fri, 23 Sep 05 03:29 AM My dictionary says that "in regard to", "with regard to", "regarding" and "respecting", and "as regards" (no "to") are all acceptable, though the last of these is disparaged by some stylists.  "in some respects" is thought to be much better than "in some regards", the latter being rejected by most of the usage panel.  No notes were provided for "in respect to" or "with respect to".

The phrases you seem to have brought out are "in regard to", "with regard to", "regarding" and "as regards".   Believer Joined on Mon, Jan 2 2006 Contributing Member 1,969 Regards
