Verify vs Chack - What's the difference?
verify | chack |
To substantiate or prove the truth of something
To confirm or test the truth or accuracy of something
(legal) To affirm something formally, under oath
(ice-skating) To not broadcast a medal-winning or otherwise memorable or crucial figure skating performance. This only occurs in a live broadcast because the network has to decide which programs to show and which to cut in the interest of time. If a skater is low in the rankings and several big names are set to skate later, that performance may be cut.
