[Sigia-l] Create Account vs. Register

Generally speaking, "account" is transactional: money, goods, time, etc.,
changing hands. "Register" is more for authentication/identification. Of
course, depending on context, either might be useful. In such situations, I
tried to think of negative consequences: do I have an account or a
registration at, say, iTunes store? If I'm in the habit of purchasing there,
I wouldn't say I'm 'registered' at iTunes store; "account" seems much more
apt.
