Usage

The traditional view is that re should be used in headings and references, as in Re: Ainsworth versus Chambers, but not as a normal word meaning ‘about’, as in I saw the deputy head re the incident. However, the evidence suggests that re is now widely used in the second context in official and semi-official contexts, and is now generally accepted. It is hard to see any compelling logical argument against using it as an ordinary English word in this way

Origin

Latin, ablative of res 'thing'.

    re: invoice 87

    兹就87号发票之事。

    Synonyms
    about, concerning, regarding, with regard to, relating to, apropos, apropos of, on the subject of, respecting, in respect of, with respect to, with reference to, as regards, in the matter of, in connection with, referring to, touching on

Usage

It is often said that, strictly speaking, re should be used in headings and references, as in Re: Harrison versus Ortiz, but not as a normal word meaning ‘regarding,’ as in thanks for your letter re the job postings. However, the evidence suggests that re is now widely used in the second context in official and semiofficial contexts, and is now generally accepted. Be aware, however, that in certain formal contexts, if re is used in mid-sentence, some readers may regard it as business jargon or an inappropriate legalism. Often, concerning or about would be just as clear (and less likely to annoy)

Origin

Latin, ablative of res ‘thing’.
