Which one, in America or outside the home?
Hi,
I think there is a contradiction between "in America" which is home and "outside the home" here. Can you please tell me what this sentence mean?
In America, Starbucks has helped
reverse a decline in coffee consumption outside the home, doubling
consumption since the mid-1980s.

Nesa

Hi,Thank you for your reply but the world knows America is a country. I was wondering if the writer is speaking about the situation inside the country or outside of it. Because as you see both (inside and outside) are in one sentence.Regards,Nesa

nesa I was wondering if the writer is speaking about the situation inside the country or outside of it.I have already explained (I think) that the text is speaking of inside and outside people's houses, not their country.
