WRT

Writing & Everyday abbreviation · Email and Office

WRT stands for With respect to, an email and office abbreviation also used in measurement.

Introduces the topic a comment concerns, meaning "regarding" or "about." Engineers, scientists and office workers use it in emails and notes; in mathematics it identifies the variable in an operation, as in differentiating with respect to x.

Example: WRT your question about deadlines, the client has agreed to push delivery to June 3.

Usage notes

Also written w.r.t. or w/r/t. Calculus texts say "differentiate f wrt x" to mean taking the derivative of f as a function of x. In formal writing, the full phrase or "regarding" is clearer. It is read aloud as "with respect to" rather than as letters.
