Actually both are correct.- "Pay rise" is used in most Commonwealth countries.
The form "that's" is correct since it's the informal version of "that is". (Sorry, temporary blindness! I missed the double quotation mark.)

Contractions are usually done with an apostrophe, not a quotation mark. Dr. Vocab is mistaken!

Gak! I missed that. Must be the tiny font on my new 1920x1200 laptop.

I have an old set of Boston Acoutsics and, despite their age and being just a 2.1 system, they sound awesome. Not quite up to the home theater, but they do just fine on DVDs (and DVD-A) as well as DTS-CDs and my collection of WMA/MP3s burned from all my classical, jazz, and classic rock CDs.
If only they were more portable so I could take them to and from work like my laptop. But alas, a 12x12x8 subwoofer isn't exactly convenient to haul around.
