I had a suspicion you would be downvoted for telling the truth here :-). It's an unfortunate choice between being truthful and being popular.. As I understand it, part of the difference between US and Europe is that US has massive acce

I do this and sometimes also something else: A local enum as a return value, where you have to compare the enum to use its value (ie you can't just 0/1 it). I of course don't always do this. I do it, when the semantics o

it's not wrong, but kontera is the very specific act of assigning a transaction to the proper account, with none of the general meaning of classify. Kontera sort of implies the act and transaction, the "commit".
