| Phrase | margin |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "margin" means the white space at the top, bottom, and right- and left-hand sides of a page, or the white space around printed text: "Young tried to make his essay seem longer by using a large font and very big margins." A "margin" is also the amount by which something wins or loses, or exceeds a certain minimum amount: "The team is expected to win by a 15-point margin." Or, "What kind of profit margins do you anticipate for the company next year?" When talking about statistics, the "margin of error" reflects how likely it is that the actual number will be different than the calculated number: "Does this poll have a large margin of error?" |
