Grammar
In regard to, with regard to...
Dear teachers,
I am very confused about the use of these words: "with regard to", "in regard to"
I thought that they are synonyms for "concerning" "regarding" but I am not sure.
Could you please mention the difference if any?
Thanks

I'm not a teacher, but as far as I know - and I have looked into this in the past - both phrases are correct and interchangeable. And yes they are synonyms of "concerning" "regarding".
It is wrong, however, to use "With regards to" or "In regards to".
Regards (with an S at the end) is a salutation and should be used only as a salutation - i.e. Best Re

Pamela81Sure, I use them in e-mails adressed to my customers.OK, then. Just don't overuse them. There are situations in which you may sound too stilted if you do not use them
