there is a bug in your logic. Correct operator is "or".
- jacquesm 12y agoProgramming use of logical operators and regular speech is not compatible. I agree that this is a bug in the English language but this is a forum, not a computer program.
- partomniscient 12y agoI too would like to deprecate 'or' in favour of 'ior' and 'xor'. Not sure whether A. A. Milne would like it though? Today's unofficial but fun to pronounce related word is "specificity".
- blueskin_ 12y agoI'm having a bit of trouble finding the maintainer. Possibly OED, but they don't have much in the way of API documentation and I still haven't found the revision history for the source to submit a patch.
- acheron 12y agoLet me know when you find them. Someone removed Þ from the alphabet a few revisions back but I've got a patch to add it back in.
- waterhouse 12y agoIn this case "and" means "in addition to". "when you make a mistake" describes one set of situations, "when facebook makes a mistake" describes another set, and the "and" acts as a union operator. Nothing illogical here, though you might argue that English is ambiguous.
