  1. (10:54:21 PM) mandrake`: hi all
  2. (10:54:32 PM) drake1: hi mandrake
  3. (10:55:10 PM) mandrake`: does somebody know why the correct form is "with respect to x" instead of "respect to x" or "with respect x"?
  4. (10:55:42 PM) mandrake`: (i'm quite bad at english/english grammar)
  5. (10:59:05 PM) drake1: mandrake: "respect to x" might work
  6. (10:59:55 PM) mandrake`: but i found often "with respect to x", is there some rule for which this form is correct?
  7. (11:01:25 PM) drake1: mandrake: when using 'x' as a fix point
  8. (11:03:28 PM) mandrake`: yep, but what's the grammar rule that permits me to use both "with" and "to"
  9. (11:03:33 PM) mandrake`: ?
  10. (11:04:20 PM) drake1: mandrake: it acts like a clause i guess
