Proof or Evidence ?

Inglês

 Sometimes these words: Evidence and Proof are not used properly because their differences are quite subtle. However, some clear definitions are given by different dictionaries.Putting them in a nutshell: Proof is stronger than evidence.The proof is the sum of evidences which helps to prove something. Proof is more concrete and conclusive than evidence.To have proof you need evidence.If you have enough evidence you have proof.

 

Read carefully Mark Twain's quote below the links.Can you understand the difference between proof and evidence at once?

P.S."-proof " can also be used as a suffix. Do you remember any other words which get the suffix -"proof" ? Write them at the bottom of this post,ok ?
