Text | The word "certified," in this podcast, means with an official statement about the qualifications or characteristics of someone or something: "Alan is a board-certified neurosurgeon with many years of experience." "Certified mail" is a type of mail delivery service where the recipient (the person who receives the envelope) must sign a piece of paper, which is returned to the sender as proof that the document was sent: "It's a good idea to send important documents, like college applications and tax returns, using certified mail so you have proof of when it was sent." Finally, when used informally, "certified," can describe someone who has a mental illness or is crazy: "Lydia is so moody and unpredictable. Are you sure she isn't certified?" |
