用法筆記

More formal than 'improvement'. Common in business and technical writing. Use 'to' (not 'of') when naming the upgraded feature with a countable sense: 'enhancements to the software'. Use 'of' for the uncountable process sense: 'the enhancement of working conditions'. Frequently paired with nouns that specify the area being upgraded: performance, security, image, home, kitchen.
