[edit] Usage notes

Sobre is slightly informal. In the sense of over or on, it is often replaced in formal contexts with the more general en, or with the more verbose arriba de or encima de. In the sense of about, it is usually replaced in formal contexts with acerca de, or simply de if the context is sufficient to make the meaning clear.
