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

They are synonymous. However, it is highly likely that you will run into them in quite formal situations, not in
casual speech.

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

OK, then. Just don't overuse them. There are situations in which you may sound too stilted if you do not use them
appropriately.
