Difference between "Think of" and "Think up"
Hi,
What's the difference between
"He'll think of some new idea to fix that" and "He'll think up some new idea to fixt that".
From dictionary, both these 2 expressions mean "make a mental effort to create/develop something".
Thanks
James

There really isn't any difference and people use them interchangable. The only difference I could suggest is a connotation where thinking of an idea to fix the problem is thinking of a solution from his memory, thinking up a solution is inventing one. Very slight difference and I only trhink of the difference because you ask for one.
