| May 7, 2014 at 21:29 | comment | added | cHao | Note that "compound" can work both ways. If the current situation is good, compounding it would make it better. (The word seems more commonly used in a negative way, and using it to make something good better is an odd usage, bu not exactly incorrect.) | |
