Phrase | proof |
Text | In this podcast, the word "proof" means evidence, such as documents or objects, that demonstrate something happened at a particular time or in a particular way: "This research finding is proof that our theory is correct!" The phrase "proof" means with protection against something: "What can we do to make our living room child-proof before my cousin's kids come over?" Or, "Where can I buy waterproof boots?" As a verb, "to proof" or "to proofread" means to read a document carefully to identify and correct any errors: "It's always easier to proofread someone else's writing than it is to find errors in your own writing." Finally, a "proof copy," sometimes called "proofs," is the final version of how something will be, reviewed one final time before many copies are printed: "Once you approve the proof copy, we'll begin printing the books." |
