> Thanks--it may actually be useful!  googlefight says  depends of  is as frequent as depends on, but looglefight gets it right for ACL and some other domains.  For what domain isdepends of  the preferred form?   

I think you just forgot to quote the phrases (googlefight.com doesn't seem to be very intelligent about this). If I enter

	"depends of" vs. "depends on"

the latter is much more frequent.  Web1T5 tells the same story, even without the quotes:

	http://cogsci.uos.de/~korpora/ws/cgi-bin/Web1T5/Web1T5_freq.perl?query=depends+[on,of]&mode=Search&optimize=on

Cheers,
Stefan
