Has the word "augmented been stricken from modern day conversation and we just call it "raised" now?
Example would be the "Hendrix Chord", as Albert Cummings & myself would say.....E7#9......E7, sharp or raised 9th?

The only time I know to use augmented is when you raise the 5th.

Wouldn't that be the same thing raising the 9th?? Raising up one note is raising one note.... Hmmm......I think you're right.... Here's Wiki: In music, an augmented triad is a triad, or chord, consisting of two major thirds (an augmented fifth). The term augmented triad arises from an augmented triad being considered a major chord whose top note (fifth) is raised, or augmented. It can be represented by the integer notation {0, 4, 8}. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_triad |

Toldja.  Raising the 9th is raising the 2nd. For a C7 chord that would have you play D# instead of D. (The easy way to figure out higher than the number 7 is to subtract 7. For example, if there's some form of 11, then subtract 7 which gives you 4, and thus you're playing with the fourth.) |

I think of the augmented 7th as the gospel chord mainly because it has been used in black gospel music as an introductory
chord at the beginning of the song or each verse. In blues it is sometimes at the very end of a verse as the 5 chord in place of 7th or 9th
chord just before beginning the next verse somewhat like the gospel application.

Augmented 7th and 5th add tension to a chord progression.
