I hope so. It would be a nice change compared to... Well... Everything.

Edit: ahhhh see it now. I read it as "up to" alone, but implied "increased to" instead.

English is hard sometimes.

It really is. The fact "up to" can mean either a maximum value, or an increase to a value, is stupid.

Sale, up to 90% off!

Where the 90% off is the triple clearance table that's been inventory they genuinely can't get rid of, while everything else is 10-15% off
