Hello, my friends,
I was wounding whether as with, as for and as regards can be used interchangeably. I saw a sentence on wikipedia:
As with other types of language variation, there tends to be a spectrum of registers rather than a discrete set of obviously distinct varieties – numerous registers could be identified, with no clear boundaries between them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_(sociolinguistics)
Since this website is so well-known, I believe the use of "as with" should be formal and standard.
Would you give me some advice? Thank you.
