What is the difference between the two in usage?
when I am making a phone call and trying to get across the purpose of the call, should I say
"I am calling in regard to....." or "I am calling with regard to......."
I think either is correct, although "in regard to" is more common. There's also "I'm calling regarding...."
I much prefer the simple, economical "I'm calling about...."
