Mark one’s words?
Answer:
PROOFREAD
Hint:
Not available
Explanation:
This clue plays on the double meaning of "mark one’s words." Literally, it suggests checking or correcting written words, which is what you do when you proofread. The question mark hints at the pun—it’s not about taking someone’s statement seriously (the usual phrase) but about editing text for errors.
