Phrase | case |
Text | The phrase "the case," in this podcast, means the way something is, or a situation, scenario, or circumstance: "It's going to rain tomorrow. In that case, let's change our plans." A "case" can also refer to a lawsuit, or a decision that is made in a court of law: "What percentage of his cases has that attorney won in the past few years?" A "case" is often a small container that can open and close, used to hold or store and protect something: "Have you seen my eyeglass case anywhere?" Or, "Make sure you keep your camera in its case, or you might scratch the lens." Finally, "case" can describe whether letters are written as capital letters (uppercase) or small letters (lowercase): "Writing in uppercase in emails is often considered rude, because readers see it as shouting." |
