<para>Common use of the words <emphasis>debit</emphasis> and <emphasis>credit</emphasis>
does not match how accountants use these words. In common use,
<emphasis>credit</emphasis> generally has positive associations; in accounting,
- <emphasis>credit</emphasis> means <emphasis>affecting the right side of an account</emphasis>
- and is associated with decreases in asset and expense,
- but increases of income, liability and equity accounts.</para>
+ <emphasis>credit</emphasis> means
+ <emphasis>affecting the right column</emphasis> of the ledger sheet of an account.
+ This is associated with a <emphasis>decrease</emphasis> in asset and expense,
+ but an <emphasis>increase</emphasis> of income, liability and equity accounts.</para>
