Dictionary definitions and other usage refer to facts from the Latin factum, meaning ‘something
done’, is a statement that can be proven true or accurate. It is an event or thing known to have
happened or existed, a truth that has been verified from experience or observation while an
opinion, from the Latin opinio, meaning to ‘believe’, is a judgment that varies from person to
person. It is a belief not founded on certainty or proof. It may be a prevailing or popular feeling or
public opinion. Opinions may vary from person to person.

are often used to check facts. On the other hand, an opinion is a judgment, viewpoint, or
statement that is not conclusive, rather than facts which are true statements.
