Hi Tom,

'Below' is fine but the opposite would be 'above'

Thanks, Alan

So am I to understand that "see up" is odd or wrong? But why do we say "Look up"?

Hi Tom,

I assumed that your 'see below' referred to looking at what is written on a page - see above (at the top of the page) see below (at the bottom of the page. Maybe you were thinking of something else. 'Look up' is something different again. It can mean 'Lift your head (and eyes) up' and it can also mean to find for example a word in a dictionary.

I suppose context is all.

Alan
