With versus What with

[Van Khanh]

Please read:

With getting up early and travelling all day, we were exhausted by the evening.
What with getting up early and travelling all day, we were exhausted by the evening.

Same meaning?

Thanks

Hi,

Rather than with in your first sentence I think that it would be better to say; By or Through.

Dear Amy/ Alan

Thanks!

Please see below:

"With all that fever and headache, it was really impossible ( for me) to move on."

Would you advise that I should not use such sentences?
