Staff who refused to abide by the new rules were fired.
We are quite willing to abide by their decision, whatever it may be.
"We were aced out by a rival agency."
"My Mum had a difficult time. I was always acting up as a child."
"I guess I'd better get the television repaired. It's been acting up lately."
"What's wrong with him? He's acting like an idiot."
“The employee was sacked because she couldn’t account for the missing money from the cash register”
“The script itself is well written and well acted out by the cast”
“He has become desperate and is acting out his frustration by behaving like an idiot.”
"His theory is hard to believe, but his research adds up."
"His theory seems, at first, to be plausible, but the facts in his research don't add up."
"What's the total of those bills? Could you add them up
"The bills add up to $65. That's more than I expected!"
“Allowing for delays, we should reach our destination by 6 o’clock this evening”
"Aced out" is very American. I suspect other English-speaking countries wouldn't acknowledge it.
"Well acted out" sounds clumsy. We'd sooner say, "acted out well".
"Mum" is a UK/Aust spelling, I think in the US it's normally written "Mom"
