 in terms of & about I am always confused by the meaning of "in terms of". Can someone tell me what is the difference between in terms of and about. Are they same meaning ? Can they exchange for using? Thanks. apple |

| 'In terms of' is used to limit something- 'in terms of popularity, the government is doing well'. This means that the government is popular, but doesn't necessarily mean it is doing well in other areas.  |
