Even as late as the turn of the century online was for nerds. It was a safe space. Before the dark times. Before Facebook.

web-based survey

They used Ipsos Knowledge Panels to get the survey results.

The samples were taken in 2017 (3510 people), 2020 (2107 people), 2022 (1722). About coupling up.

Say someone coupled up when they were 15 in 1930. 87 years from 2017. So they would have completed the survey, in 2017, when they were 102 years old. (18 in 1930 = 105)
15 in 1935, 82 years from 2017, 97 when survey done.
15 in 1940, 77 years from 2017, 92 when survey done. (18 in 1940 = 95; 23 in 1940 = 100)
15 in 1945, 72 years from 2017, 87 when survey done.
15 in 1950, 67 years from 2017, 82 when survey done.

Neat graph, and all, but why'd they start it in 1930?

Too many commas.



I would write that as "Please, buy apples, mac and cheese, milk and bread". The comma after Please being optional depending on the emphasis I wanted to put on it. As for the last comma, that would depend on what follows which isn't shown.

I've tried going on a comma diet by writing shorter sentences.

Please! Buy: Kraft Dinner. Apples. Milk. Bread.

Just leads to an overdosing on periods and whatnot.

They probably have data for before 1930 but decided that "50% - Traded for 3 cows" was a bad look.
How do they have data for before 1930? Their data is based on surveys done starting in 2017.
