[GNC] I need basic help

[R Losey]

It *IS* hard because the accounting use of debit/credit is different from
the common or colloquial usage of the words. In everyday usage, people tend
to use "debit" as a synonym for "decrease" and "credit" to mean "increase",
and that is NOT the case in accounting, as the tutorials helpfully explain.
