This typo has been corrected. On the login page of Peking University's email system, account | account | email system
On August 7th, a reporter from Changjiang Daily noticed that "account" and "account" were mixed on the login page of Peking University's email system, and the correct word used was "account".
The login page of Peking University's email system has been changed from "account" to "account".
Previously, several language and writing experts stated in interviews with reporters that "account" is an old usage, and the correct expression now is "account". The 7th edition of the Modern Chinese Dictionary only has the entry for "account", not "account".
Since July of this year, Changjiang Daily has caused widespread attention by continuously reporting that many social software and Internet platform login pages and relevant expressions mistake "account" for "account". With the attention and promotion of the State Language Commission, WeChat, QQ, Weibo, Tiktok, Baidu, Today Toutiao, Zhihu, Douban, etc. have successively changed their "account" to "account".

The relevant statements on the login page of Peking University's email system include both "account" and "account" - "campus network account". Peking University reminds you that anyone who requests an account or password is a scammer, please do not give it! "
The reporter found that many universities across the country mistakenly changed their "account" to "account" on their email system login pages, including those selected for the "Double First Class" construction of universities and the list of construction disciplines.
The Law of the People's Republic of China on the National Common Language and Writing System clearly states that the state promotes Mandarin, promotes standardized Chinese characters, and the public service industry takes standardized Chinese characters as the basic service characters.
Recently, some media outlets have published comments suggesting that frequent misuse of "accounts" and mixing of "accounts" and "accounts" is illegal and not serious. When dealing with such incorrect usage, it is necessary to correct it as soon as it is discovered.

On August 7th, Changjiang Daily reported that multiple universities across the country mistakenly changed "account" to "account" on their email system login pages, causing related Weibo topics to become hot searches. After receiving feedback from reporters, Peking University replied at 18:39 on the same day that the issue had been corrected. That night, the reporter logged into the website of Peking University and confirmed that the relevant description on the email system login page had been changed from "account" to "account".
Wang Nan, editor and reviewer of the Institute of Languages, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, stated that there is still some confusion in the use of "accounts", indicating that the standardization of language and writing still needs to be vigorously promoted.
