For another example, 'fill up' -- the container is completely full, cannot be filled any more, and no additional material can be added. | |

| Dec 2, 2015 at 14:48 | comment | added | Ben | In the UK it's more usual to say "I crumpled it up"... here "up" acts informally as an intensifier.. Something which is "crumpled up" is more crumpled than something which is merely "crumpled". | |

| Dec 2, 2015 at 3:35 | comment | added | Golden Cuy | @TRomano attempt using square brackets around the words, and parentheses around the URL: square brackets and parentheses | |
| Dec 1, 2015 at 15:50 | comment | added | Yakk | Do people really use other words (besides crumple) for this? | |
