Mar 9, 2017 · Proof = incontrovertible evidence, is a concept: "These photographs and your fingerprints are proof that you were in the house." In this meaning, " proof " is uncountable - never plural. A proof - a formal, written, demonstration of the truth of a mathematical theory - is countable. Some claim: You definitely can say - I have a lot of proofs ...
Jun 6, 2010 · Many thanks in advance, All my North American dictionaries and my university notes all indicate "proofreading" as one word. I have seen proof-reading but I don't think that is accepted as standard, at least in the US. The hyphenated version proof-reading seems to be used in the UK at times, and in some other countries such as Singapore.
Dec 5, 2011 · English - Australian. Dec 2, 2011. #4. 'As proof' sounds neither natural nor appropriate. I imagine that the 'agreement' outlines certain conditions to which you are prepared to commit.

Jun 4, 2010 · English-American/New England. Jun 4, 2010. #3. filleanglaise said: You don't need the a here, I have proof of something is correct. I think it depends on the context. "I have a proof of the BSD conjecture" is correct; maybe you could say "I have proof of the BSD conjecture," but it would sound odd to me. On the other hand, you could say "I have ...
Mar 7, 2006 · Mar 7, 2006. #2. proof points is not a set phrase, so the meaning has to be derived from context. In AE, we get "points" for doing thing. Brownie points for cooperating, honesty points for not lying when we easily could have, etc. So going forward (in the future) we will have built proof points for delivering ROI (and ROI on ROI) consistently ...
Aug 6, 2014 · English -- USA. Aug 6, 2014. #2. "Dummy-proof" = "designed so that a dummy [unintelligent or ignorant person] cannot mess it up". So saying "it's not dummy proof" means "it's vulnerable to being messed up / broken by someone stupid." Tej is saying "don't touch that cable, because you don't know enough about it to prevent messing it up!"

If you search online for "Proof, if proof be needed" I'm sure you will find plenty of examples, e.g. "Oh, Madam Mina," he said, sadly, "it is proof, if proof be needed, of how I love and ...
Nov 15, 2014 · Nov 15, 2014. #7. Biffo said: In fact 'proof' can be countable or uncountable depending on the context. There are proofs (countable) in printing and in mathematics for example. In criminal law, proof is uncountable. As PaulQ says, it is uncountable in this context. Yes, you can use "any". As to if the word "prof" is countable or uncountable in ...
