While pronouncing xor as 'ex-or' makes sense, since the x stands for ex-clusive, most words in English that start with x make the 'Z' sound. Xenophobe, xylophone, xanax. But once again, the regular 'or' in English is already exclusive, so there's no need to make a new word for it, but I admit it would be fun.

 

You know when something can be either "or" or "and?" You may also say it is "and" and or "or"; "or" and/or "and," if you will. That's the inclusive or!

The Latin "vel" is a word for the inclusive or. I also just learned that the logic symbol, ∨, is called "vel" and is used for something called "disjunction" as opposed to "exclusive disjunction (⊻)," which is simply the exclusive or, which is the regular or in English.

Apparently the legal term "vel non" uses this word to mean "or not," which means there's at least a chance of it making it out of the courtroom and into the common lingo like quid pro quo, de jure, and de facto, did.

Yes, it depends on the tone, which dictates whether it's rude or inquisitive. This is how I see it.

Why would you SAY that? = what you've said is shocking or offensive.

Why would you say THAT? = one wants to know more about that.

Filler words is the most correct answer because words like "like" do actually have meaning, but there is also something called embololalia (also spelled embolalia), the insertion of meaningless sounds/words into speech, which would include "uh, ah, mmm," etc.

You've proven to me that the em dash is a bit of a Swiss army knife indeed; you didn't, however, have to diss my boy, the semicolon!

Not only does his design make logical sense for his specific job, but he also takes up no more space than a comma.

Ah, steak, my favorite salad! Oooh, and salad, the perfect nachos!! My steak is a salad, but if I cut it into bite-sized pieces, it becomes nachos!!!

  1. A salad is specifically a mix of more than one thing. Not a homogeneous mixture.
  2. The hell's up with the nachos? A food with many repeating identical objects? Nachos are a salad.
  3. A sandwich is supposed to be 3 layers; [bread-->content-->bread] from top to bottom. They cite a stack of 3 slices of toast as a sandwich, but a cake is defined as a food with >2 grain layers, a criterion in which 3 slices of toast fits.

Seriously, a good theory idea, but with unforgivable flaws.

No, you don't have to tip. Really unfortunate that some people rely on tips for their wage, but If you don't tip, you're NTA.

That looks perfect if you ask me.
