A differs from (= has a different quality) B. Mr A differs with (= has a different opinion) Mr B. " with regards to " and with regard to "-- The first is incorrect; these are the only standard expressions: 'as regards', 'in regard to', and 'with regard to'.

  • A differs from (= has a different quality) B.
