, I% ?3 Q7 B$ Z! SGreat question! There is very little difference, but it seems that "filling out" something focuses more on getting it done and out of the way, while "filling in" something focuses more on the items being entered. The first connotes something that has to be gotten through, while the second is more likely to be something in which you care more about the content. So I might "fill in" or "fill out" a questionaire, depending on whether I cared very much, but I would only ever "fill out" a form, because a form is virtually always something you complete only as a means to another end. That said, I think you could use either one in almost any context. "Fill out" is more frequently used in the U.S. and "fill in" may be regarded as informal.

Another difference is that "fill out" refers to the entire form (although "fill in" could be used for the entire form.) and "Fill in" refers to a particular field on the form. You do not "fill out the blank"; but you always "fill in the blank." So, at the overall level, "fill in" and "fill out" are interchangeable. When talking about a specific field, "fill in" is the only one used. " ]& M* A' _6 d H" \0 R
