who can tell the difference? (I can )

Words "вычЕтание" and "вычЕтать" don't exist. There are вычИтание and вычИтать - "subtraction" and "to subtract". There is also "вычет" (Ы stressed), a purely accounting term derived from the above verb. It means "deduction" or "takeout".
"Вычитка" is a technical word and means "proofreading", the corresponding verb is "вычитывать" (imperf.)/"вычитать" (perf., Ы stressed).
