"I immediately typed this word on the keyboard"
Some people say that
"I have always been concerned about this typo."
"It's better to correct it, it's troublesome to make mistakes in the exam."
The reporter consulted the 7th edition of the Modern Chinese Dictionary and found that there is only "account" in it. There are two definitions for "tent": first, it refers to "something made of cloth, yarn, or silk for covering," such as "mosquito net" and "tent"; The second is the old account.
It is worth noting that in June this year, the Research Report on the Phenomenon of Irregular Words and Expressions on the Internet released by the surging news showed that among the top 20 wrong words on Internet platforms, the number one is "account".

According to Wang Nan, editor and reviewer at the Institute of Languages, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the correct way to write "account" in the past is now "account".
Cao Zhiyun, a member of the Advisory Committee of the National Language and Writing Commission and a professor at Zhejiang Normal University, stated that "account" and "account" should not be mixed, that is, "account" should not be written as "account".
Associate Professor Wang Geng from Zhongnan University of Economics and Law told reporters that ancient people often recorded accounts on cloth and hung them up for preservation, so they called daily accounts "accounts". Later, in order to separate them from curtains, they created the phonetic characters "accounts" to indicate that they were related to money and wealth.
Last year, the reporter contacted multiple online platforms to provide expert feedback, suggesting that the "account" be changed to "account" as soon as possible.
However, more than a year later, when the reporter inquired on July 8, he found that, except that Tiktok had changed the "account" in the relevant pages and content to "account", many other social software and platforms still used "account".
The reporter noticed that "account" and "account" even appeared in the relevant statements of an Internet platform.

Wang Ruoxuan, Director of the Office of the Language and Writing Work Committee of Hubei University, stated in an interview with reporters that if online platforms make mistakes in their wording, it is irresponsible to historical and cultural aspects. She said that teenagers are still in the learning stage, and if they are influenced by mistakes for a long time, they will think that what is wrong is right.
Xiao Jinsong, Vice Dean of the Tian Jiabing School of Education at Three Gorges University, called on online platforms to shoulder cultural responsibilities and not let typos become popular usage.
On July 4, when replying to reporters, the staff of the State Language and Literacy Working Committee said that in view of the long-term misuse of the word "account" by several Internet platforms, a letter had been drafted asking the Network Comprehensive Administration Bureau of the Central Cyberspace Office to guide these platforms to correct.
