I find it's most often people say "or" when they mean xor, and "and/or" when they mean or.
So perhaps we should start saying either "or" or "ior" (inexclusive or).
- tlrobinson 18y agoThe "and/or" thing actually sort of makes sense if you take "or" to mean "xor", since (A XOR B) OR (A AND B) equals (A OR B)
- smanek 18y agoSo, slash is really 'or'? Oh, my head.
- tlrobinson 18y agoenglish logic ------- ----- and AND or XOR / OR Actually, since (A XOR B) and (A AND B) are mutually exclusive, (A XOR B) XOR (A AND B) also equals (A OR B), so "/" could be "XOR" too.
