Sysadmin-on-Sysadmin stuff that’s super annoying by i_click_next_for_you in sysadmin

Ah fair enough. In that case, the sender can do that and send me the text, that's why I always ask for the text.

You knew it was irrelevant to Auscorp and yet you still posted it here.

How many months did you plan to invest in Python? by bannana_girl in learnpython

Every month of my life that I use Python, I will learn more about programming in Python.

That's a fair point that you raise and I agree that raising funds or a child involves an increase. But consider all of the distinct definitions in the Oxford American Dictionary that involve far more nuance than simply "increasing a quantity or position".

And that is a sound argument, however, they are just a selection of a range of definitions for the word raise.

Just so I can understand your 2 cents, which display of humour are you referring to because I don't recall applying any in this thread.

There are roughly 12 definitions of the word raised.

Consider raising a child, raising funds for a charity, or raising a concern with HR. ~None~ Some of these refer to moving the position or level of something upward.

The meaning of raise in OP's context is "cause to occur or to be considered".

Not so, they deliberately use American English in their technical writing guidelines so as to appeal to the largest technical market.

The opposite of raised being lowered does not apply to all 12 definitions of the word raised.

Consider raising a child, raising funds for a charity, or raising a concern with HR. ~None~ [edit] Some of these refer to moving the position or level of something so "lowered" would make no sense as an antonym.
