Photon Which is correct? Number 2 is wrong. Number 1 suffers from faulty parallelism, but there is nothing else wrong, and I would not be surprised to hear it.

Number 2 is wrong. Number 1 suffers from faulty parallelism, but there is nothing else wrong, and I would not be surprised to hear it. To make it parallel, you might say "More people spend their free time at home than in the outdoors."
