smitten with/by[edit]
Its most frequent use is as the participle smitten, ‘infatuated, fascinated’. When the object of the fascination is a person, with is much more often used than by; when the object is inanimate, the pattern is the opposite.
What are the reasons for such choice? --Backinstadiums (talk) 18:09, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
