Re: Pay rise or Pay raise? Quote:

So "raise up" is also correct sometmes? | Yes, though I don't think I'd use it personally. I think it's most common in US English, though relatively rare even there especially when used in a non-literal sense. For instance, I've just googled "raise up a question" and "raise up an interesting question". I found no examples at all on British or Australian websites, and only thirteen on US sites. |
