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