Which phrasing is correct?
Hello all,
Just wondering which of these sentences is correct:
- Wincing from the smell of the rotten fish I cupped my hand to my mouth in disgust.
or is it..
- Wincing with the smell ...
or is it..
- Wincing at the smell ...
Thanking you all in advance.

Hi, 'at' is the most common. 'from' is OK. 'with' does not sound quite right to me.

Hi,
'at' is the most common.
'from' is OK.
'with' does not sound quite right to me.
Put a comma after 'fish'.
