What does "raises the register" in this context mean?
- dopidopHN 4y agoRegister of speak I suppose ? Formal, vulgar, technical, casual... I might be wrong English is not my first language. But that would fits nicely. I understand that as going from casual to formal, for instance.
- bombcar 4y ago“Raise the bar” would be the colloquially used term around here.
- rattus_rattus 4y agoIt means the formality level of text. I think that person was saying that within their family chats, they perceive that using capitals and punctuation makes the messages feel unnecessarily/inappropriately formal.
- mathieuh 4y agoYes exactly.
