Have ever seen?

Post by Reunrom »

* I don't understand the meaning of both sentences; the first one from a marriage certificate of USA, I think, because I can not remember, and the second one from Internet, on the meaning of "demographics", please help. Thank you in advance and best regards.

1. I thee wed.
2. The Company also creates internal reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for our advertisers and partners.

Not sure at all:
1) I got married with you, I accept to marry you, ...
2) What don't you understand. It looks cristal-clear for me. :confused:

Yes, I agree with kokoyaya.

1. I am marrying you. (wed = marry, thee = old form of "you")

2. "user demographics": the number of people of a certain age, marital status, income level, race, etc. who use a service or product.

just completing Parasha : traffic patterns : how many connections you have, and at what time/which day... I guess

Well in fact I just wanted to ask : Shouldn't the sentence be : "I don't understand the meaning of either sentence ?

Just wondering, thanks.

It should, to be perfectly correct. "Both" is abused in this manner extremely often, even by native speakers.

Also: "I just wanted to ask".

Without knowing the context its very hard to explain. The report is on demographics, which could be anything. For example, age, race, gender, education, income level, ect. Traffic patterns could refer to use of websites if it is an online company.

Hope this helps.
