§Grammar and usage
Usage: in passages, anecdotal evidence is weak evidence based on a few personal stories, and authors often contrast it with empirical or statistical evidence.
Usage में passages के अंदर anecdotal evidence कुछ व्यक्तिगत किस्सों पर आधारित कमज़ोर प्रमाण होता है, और लेखक अक्सर इसे empirical या statistical evidence के विपरीत रखते हैं।
