"debit" and "credit" are the most confusing thing to learn about business accounting.
whether it means more or less money, and who it means more or less money for, changes depending on the circumstances.
the reason business accounting and debits/credits are so confusing is because its methods were not only invented prior to the advent of the computerised spreadsheet, but also prior to the advent of negative numbers, so it's just a whole bunch of workarounds.
i can say something like "it was credited to your account" and what does that mean exactly? where did it come from? where did it go? where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
