[GNC] Terminology WAS: Liability Balances - All payments disappeared

[Adrien Monteleone]

That is how I currently understand it.

When I use 'a split' I mean a single debit or credit.

When I use 'split transaction' I mean a transaction that has 3 or more 
combined debits/credits.

The best alternative terminology I recall was to use the word "entry" for what is now called a split, and reserve "split" for transactions with more than two entries. But that terminology has never been adopted by the community or in the documentation.
