- When used as a catenative verb, proceed takes the to infinitive (i.e. one says proceed to swing, not proceed swing). See Appendix:English catenative verbs.
- Not to be confused with precede.
- Many of the other English verbs ultimately derived from Latin c?d? are spelled ending in "cede", so the misspelling "procede" is common.
