Vocabulary
concur in or concur with
I checked my dictionary about "concur in and concur with". The meanings are as follow:
Concur in is followed by the decision or the agreement (the focus is on the decision).
Concur with is followed by the person sharing a decision or agreement (the focus is on the person).
However, I saw some native English speaker write it.
1. I concur the comments at Part B in the report.
2. I concur with the comments at Part C in the report.
As the meaning of above, I think these two sentences are wrong. It should be " I concur in the comments at Part B in the report." .
Am I right?
Thank you!

Sentence (2) is correct. It is common to say "concur with" about a decision, comment, etc. I don't know why your dictionary thinks otherwise.
