Phrase | account |
Text | The word "account," in this podcast, means the business relationship between a company and one buyer of its products and services, including all paperwork related to those transactions: "By the end of our first year, we had about 20 active accounts." When talking about banking, an "account" is an arrangement where a bank holds one's money temporarily: "They have two checking accounts and one savings account." A "first-hand account" is one's description of what one has seen or heard directly: "Becca's first-hand account of the robbery helped the detectives catch the thief." Finally, the phrase "to take (something) into account" means to consider something or to treat something as a factor in one's decision: "Don't forget to take inflation into account when you determine how much money you will need to save for retirement." |
