Hi, I’m not sure exactly when, but during the last ten years or so, especially in the media, when anyone says “covered” the preposition they use is “in” instead of “with”. Examples: dirt, dust, water, blood, tatoos, etc. I have looked in the dictionary and there is three quarters of a page dedicated to the word in and I fail to see that use of the word described!
Is it me (I) or is there some conspiracy?
Thank you, B Beyer
Covered can be followed by at least three prepositions: by, in, and with.[YSaerTTEW443543]

“Covered in” and “covered with” are generally interchangeable.
no difference in meaning at all ??
No.
