OK, now this one beats me... what's the difference between "accurate"
and "exact" ? I thought both mean something like "correct", but precise
refers to some action and accurate applies to a situation or
description...

I'm actually curios what it means. Merriam-Webster refers for both to
"correct" as a synonym.

Cheers,
Csaba.
