double checking
Looking twice over
Double checking is verifying something a second time to ensure accuracy or catch errors.
The practice implies that a single check might miss something: I'm double checking the numbers before we submit.
Often written as one word (doublechecking) or hyphenated (double-checking).
The noun is a double check: Give it a double check before you send it.
