Vocabulary
progress/progression;see/watch
How are 'progress(n)' and 'progression' different?
They according to Oxford mean pretty much the same thing : the process of developing.
I'm not sure about the verb form of progress either. I don't see it used very often.
Also, do 'see' and 'watch' collocate with both 'movie' and 'film'?
Is any of those collocations preferred by a particular group of people?
Thanks very much.

Progress is more often used as the concept, where progression is more often used to refer to a concrete instance-- that's how I preceive the fine difference. The verb progress (stress on the second syllable) seems reasonably common to me, though I have never counted its instances. com/progress%26r%3D67&usg=AFQjCNFWdsOUZN_iqi0qQrAkNTJ6wldyrg ".
