Usage
Any difference between "be credited to" and "be credited with"
Dear all,
I checked the dictionary, and found no difference between these two. Or with the different preposition, the idiom means the same thing. I wonder if my assumption is correct. Or you use different preposition with "be credited" in different situation. Thanks for you help. With best regards,
Gloria

If "credited to" is used, the person or thing receiving the credit is the object; if "credited with" is used, the person or thing receiving the credit is the subject.
