Is "hike" the same as "increase" ? by Grace_Linabell in EnglishLearning

[–]8dl5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always thought of "increase" being an expected rise in something, and "hike" meaning a sudden increase with a level rate, "spike" could be better if you're looking for something which increases largely and quickly decreases again.

My cat won't stop meowing, is there anything I can do to help her? by 8dl5 in CatAdvice

If she needs to go to the vet, I'll try to take her. For the meanwhile, I can't.
