"Take account of" vs. "take into account"
Is there any difference in meaning between:
- take account of
- take into account
Or do they both mean "to take into consideration"?
Solution 1:
Take account of means to pay attention to someone or something, take notice of, *as well as to take into consideration.
take into account means to take into consideration.
They're so close as to be fairly interchangeable, take into account usually allows a sentence to flow more smoothly.
