It means the first one. If the spouses were Hank and Judy, it'd mean it might have been the case that just Hank was a resident, or just Judy was a resident. It could be that both were residents, but just not necessarily.

Based on what you have quoted, you are understanding it correctly. (Meaning one of the two persons - doesn't matter which one.) If both spouses were residents, you would still answer the question the same if just one was, imo. The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

It means if at least one of the spouses was a resident.
So one spouse or two spouses could satisfy it. However, it does not require both spouses--it just allows for both, but requires only 1.

I hope everyone pays more attention to Sags posts--sweething

so to recap and keep us all on track, it's one, or the other, or both, but not necessarily both, but one, as a necessity. | |

Thank God it was something simple. I was wondering whether it was going to be something about the difference between booty, bum, or arse, or why ZombieKitten gets her shrimp on the barbie while I fire up my grill. Or why I start snacking on my bag of Lays Potato Chips and my Brit Orgers wonder whether I plan on eating potato crisps during Will and Kate's wedding. Or worse yet, what JustErin's dating drama is all aboot.
