   Should I use 'uncertain about how' or 'about'?

   • Either is acceptable. This Ngram shows that "uncertain about how" has only come to be used relatively recently, but "uncertain how" is still used far more. It isn't really a case of when to use one or the other, although there may be times when "about" perhaps should not be used, as it implies a specific subject.
