Whether that's creating new Alexa capabilities with the Alexa Skills Kit (ASK), building devices that use Alexa for new and novel voice experiences using the Alexa Voice Service (AVS), or something else entirely, if you have a visionary idea, we'd love to talk to you.
The definition of 'proximity' is 'the state of being near, next, or close'. 'Distance' or 'remoteness' are antonyms of 'proximity'. Using 'close', while redundant, is reinforcing the rarer word. Just because people do it often doesn't mean it makes sense; those people 'could care less'.
A: Well, the phrase âin close proximityâ isnât very graceful (weâd prefer ânearâ or âclose toâ), but we donât consider it redundant, as weâll explain. The Oxford English Dictionary defines âproximityâ as ânearnessâ or âthe fact, condition, or position of being near or close by in space.â. So theoretically the noun âproximityâ should need no help from an adjective like âclose.â. But theory is one thing and fact is another. In reality, there are degrees of nearness, so itâs reasonable to indicate how near with the use of an adjective like âclose,â âcloser,â or âclosest.â.
