Hi, teachers.
I'm quite confused about 'in respect of sth', 'with respect to sth' and some other expression.
In Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary,
in respect of sth = as regards sth; with special reference to sth
with respect to sth = concerning sth
as regards sb/sth = concerning or connected with sb/sth
So, can I infer that in respect of sth = with respect to sth?
Could you give me some advice about how to use them correctly?
In addition, these expressions are of some ambiguity for me too: as regards sth, concerning sth, in/with reference to sth.
Thank you in advance.
