| Jun 21, 2022 at 14:46 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | I'd say 'across the year' hints strongly at sporadic events etc, whereas 'throughout the year' speaks more of consistent results. But this is opinion, and I doubt I'll easily find supporting evidence I can use to justify an 'answer'. You can check individual examples to see if my suggested rule-of-thumb seems to apply. As (I think) Lambie says, 'across my lifetime / several years' are probably more idiomatic. | |
