With the development of social networks, slang has also evolved. Words were invented and forgotten with great speed. Now it’s difficult for a person who does not spend most of his time surfing the Internet for entertainment and social purposes to keep pace with all the new words.
What is proof? Why is someone constantly demanding it from someone?
Translated from English ...
This word was obviously not invented by native speakers of the Russian language. What is proof?
Proof - pronunciation of the English word proof. Let's look into the English-Russian dictionary.
Proof (proof) - proof; evidence; the confirmation; rationale. As you can see, this term is most often used in geometry and jurisprudence.
It is not known exactly when this word came into use. Maybe eleven years ago, or maybe a little more.
What does the proof mean?
It can be assumed that this word is used in situations where evidence is needed. So what is proof? The habitat of this word is the Internet (chats, comments, posts on social networks and the like). In life, you can also hear it, but not so often. Simply put, proof is the proof required in a given situation. And also often this word can be found in various memes.
There is another meaning to this word. It is less popular, and it is unlikely that you will meet him on the Internet. Proof is a rare coin in numismatics.
In some countries where English is spoken, this word means the unit of measure for alcohol in beverages.
Kinds
What is proof, you have already learned. There are several types of this word:
It is necessary when someone asks to confirm your words with action. For example, at the company you declare that you can easily slide off a dangerous slope on a skateboard. This is where the proofs demand from you. You either show your abilities live or provide other proofs.
Proof of reference. Usually a link to a website. For example, you tell a friend that the moon is slowly attracting to our planet. He asks for proofs. And you throw him links to reliable scientific sites.
Evidence-image confirming certain words. For example, a famous actor uploads a photo with the address of his page on social networks, confirming their authenticity.
If you do not provide proofs, your attitude will deteriorate. No one likes people throwing words down the drain.
