What is this new word that I keep reading on MN?

[LauraIngallsWilder]

wrt

So many posters type 'wrt'

I presume they mean 'with' but maybe they dont!
Maybe its some new fancy word that is unknown here in small town somewhere where I live

So is 'wrt' a frequent typing error or a new word?

with regard to?

with regards to? is with wrong in that context?

With regard to

Was what I assumed it meant

Short for 'with regards to' isn't it?

with regards to

wrt = with regard to

I use it LOADS as I LOVE shorty words BUT NOT TXTSPEAK

HTH

Ahhhhhhhhh with regards to

Well obviously!
I checked the MN acconym list and it isnt there!

I have only read that little expression 'wrt' on MN in the last few weeks - entirely new to me................

Thanks all

with regard to - I've used it as an acronym for years!

I've always thought it was "with respect to".

with respect to

with regard to

I was trying to figure out why I thought it was "with respect to" and I knew I'd picked it up during A-levels. It's a mathematical term.

I've always read it as "with reference to" but the meaning is the same.

with respect to, definitely

"With reference to", I think.

with regard to

with respect to

I use it all the time in work emails as well.

I think of is as meaning with reference to but referece, regard, respect, the essential meaning of the statement is broadly the same.

with reference to

(usually in letter/ e-mail reply, perhaps noting that many items of correspondence have a Reference number)

However, the 'with respect to' meaning does come back, from when I did Additional Maths in the mid-70s, well before most had chance of e-mail.

With regards/respect/reference to - it all ends up meaning approximately the same thing anyway.

It's the sort of thing you might put in a business email, similar to the way email automatically gets 'Re:' at the front of a reply.
