Talk:account for

 * Sense 2. to be responsible for destroying or putting (people, aircraft, etc.) out of action. - Was someone getting confused with "be accountable" I wonder? -- A LGRIF  talk 15:21, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I think this is like "Wills accounted for 3 of the Dodgers' 5 runs in the game." or "Toxic fumes accounted for more of the deaths than either the impact or burns." Perhaps the senses are: "deemed to be the cause of" and "causing", rather than what is in the entry. DCDuring TALK 17:06, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Perhaps it just needs tidying up, then? -- A LGRIF  talk 17:22, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Missing senses, too. DCDuring TALK 17:25, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
