Common Mispronunciations of Proceed
Not PROH-seed
The verb leans on its second syllable. The plural noun proceeds, meaning the money raised, puts the beat at the front instead.
Not pruh-SED
The stressed vowel is the long ee of seed. A short e gives something closer to precede, which is a different word with a different meaning.
Tip: Proceed means to carry on; precede means to come before. They sound close but the beat and the vowels differ.
