"Regard" is a common word used in both non-academic or academic works. However, the word's several phrasal forms cause grammatical errors, even to the most grammar-conscious beings.
It is not right to say "with regards to". Most people say and write of this phrase. One must say this instead: "with regard to".The phrase 'as regards' is also acceptable.
Also, one must not say "in regard to". Instead, one should say 'in regards to'.But "in regards to"is nonstandard. You can also convey the same idea with "in respect to" or "with respect to," or—simplest of all—just plain “regarding.”
