"en cuanto de" VS "en cuenta de"

I think they are "regarding, as for....." and "on account of..." respectively. If that is the case then they are synonyms right? Gracias.

Jeezz, Hi!

We need more context here, but in any case,

" En cuanto a" is like "Regarding as", "En cuanto de" is not used.

y " a cuenta de " is not "on account of", "on account of" is "a causa de". "En cuenta de" is not used either.

Tener algo "en cuenta" I'd say that means to have something "on account"

Is this site totally wrong then and spreading wrong information? Just curious...

From the site: en cuenta de = on account of

en cuanto a = as for = as regards

a cuenta de = at the expense of

En cuenta de doesn't appear too often without tener, tomar, or caer preceding it, and then you have two different idiomatic expressions. tener/tomar en cuenta (de) = take into account, keep in mind, consider caer en (la) cuenta (de) = realize, catch on

Edit: I am only able to visit websites that are linked through Google's cache due to an untraceable redirect virus on my computer, so I apologize for the redirect link, I cannot access the original site. Gracias.

Yes, Jeezzle, the site you're sending me ( writen by any person as you and me, so it's not very reliable to me) is definitively wrong. "En cuenta de" is not an idiomatic expression!! - cogumela, Oct 20, 2010
