I could have made it more clear. However, if anyone was reading that, they would have seen which one I was talking about. In fact, I wasn't paying any attention to the capitalized "SERIOUSLY" because the prooves stuck out more, or I would have made my statement more specific.
Also, you said you didn't emphasize "proves," and you actually did...except it was "prooves," but that is beside the point. English at a community college? Yeah, that's not all that difficult.
