"Many folds"?
The benefit to the co-brander is "many folds"? I'm not familiar with this term and nothing in the dictionary made sense. Is this industry lingo or the author's inability to bother editing and reviewing the piece?
- maxerickson 11y agoReads like an individual quirk to me, a bastardization of many fold. (It still doesn't read very sensibly, but it isn't a huge leap from many folds->many fold->there are several)
- dfc 11y agoManyfold, is one word, no space between many and fold. I bet you are right about the author's intent. I know you are right that it does not read sensibly. Thank you for responding, for some reason "manyfold" did not come to mind when I read the article.
- oceanofsolaris 11y agoIt's simply a misspelled version of "manifold", isn't it? And if you replace it by "manifold", the sentence makes perfect sense.
- dfc 11y agoThe question was "what are the benefits?". I do not think an answer that describes the number of benefits makes perfect sense.
- joncalhoun 11y agohttp://lmgtfy.com/?q=Manyfold http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Manyfold I believe the author speaks English as a second language. Googling his name brings up a page describing him as an immigrant and his writing supports this theory in certain places. I suspect you could have pointed the mistake out in a more tactful way. He knew what he wanted to say and he used two valid words, he just didn't know to make it a compound word and this would be easy to miss when self editing.
