English Usage Question: On/About. Thanks.

>>>>>

*** On/About

* On: With respect/regard to, indicating the object of an action.

For example, he wrote a critical essay on Shakespeare.

* About: In regard to.

For example, a book about the Civil War.

Either “on” or “about” can be used in this context. However, “on” makes the sentence shorter than “about”.
