Dear teachers,
I have a few questions.
Q 1.
Thank you for reading this thread, let alone replying to it.
Is that sentence correct?
Q 2.
*to upp* the offer
To offer more money to buy something? |

1. It would be more natural to say something like: I am surprised you even read the thread, let alone answer it.
2. To up the ante means to raise the stakes in a poker game, etc. To up an offer means to raise the offer when bargaining for something.
