Cultural Tip
In Italian tech talk, the English word 'account' is fully integrated and remains unchanged in the plural. The adverb 'online' is also borrowed and placed after the noun, just like in English. When speaking formally, you might replace 'online' with 'su internet' or 'in rete', but 'online' is perfectly acceptable in everyday conversation.
