USAGE

Regard vs. regards


The traditional distinction goes like this: the singular regard is correct in phrases like with
regard to and in regard to where these phrases mean with reference to, while the plural
regards means good wishes expressing respect, affection, or condolences. But while some
people continue to insist that using regards in place of regard is simply incorrect, the old
distinction is not consistently borne out in real-world, 21st-century usage. Regards is
commonly used both ways, both in edited writing and elsewhere.
