2012年6月24日 · There is a symbol for it in predicate logic. "And/or" is just called "or" and is represented as ∨, from the Latin vel meaning or. But note that it's a separate symbol from the letter "v", though similar. In contrast, "or" in the sense of "this one or that one but never both" is called "exclusive or" or "xor" and can be symbolized as ⊻ or ⊕.

That is, "together with" would be a conjunction which connects the nouns "work ethic" and "belief in my ability" to make the noun "work ethic and belief in my ability", the whole of which is in construction with the determiner "my" to make the NP subject. But …

There is no official English: English is what its speakers make of it. That said, and/or is terrible English. It should be avoided, and people who use it should be made fun of.

2016年8月31日 · Vel, "∨", is the symbol for logical disjunction, "or", in symbolic logic. The Wikipedia entry notes that Russel and Whitehead used the symbol in their Principia Mathematica of 1910.

I think that part of putting the symbol preceding the number is to help differentiate between dollars and cents. The dollar symbol always precedes, while the cent symbol always follows. If both were to followed, this could potentially become confusing, as a roughly written S with a vertical strike could be mistaken for a c with a vertical strike.

2016年2月29日 · Having looked up detailed definition of conjunction, it seems like an OK, if somewhat ambiguous, choice for AND. But I'm still bothered by math/logician's choice of disjunction for inclusive OR since dis doesn't resonate with "inclusion" at all and resonates well with XOR (which is equal to the union of two disjoint sets A\B and B\A). Most "lay ...

Having said all of that, we're talking about a subtle nuance that I might not even pick up on, not I unless I spent some time analyzing the conjunction carefully (and, to be quite honest, in a sentence like this, I probably wouldn't spend much time analyzing the conjunction carefully). At face value, I'd probably interpret either sentence to mean:

2022年3月15日 · It is said that, as a conjunction, the two constructions on each side of (rather than) must be parallel. So can this phrase join two sentences like this? (I know there are better ways of doing it) I

2010年8月22日 · Linguistically this is called the "inclusive or." A single-word version of it--"vel"--exists in Latin. In certain, admittedly limited contexts, it might be conceivable to use the Latin conjunction within English writing (designated by italics). Of course, in math and formal logic, you can and must use "or" for "and/or."

2017年10月21日 · I looked up the usage of "such that" in the dictionary, it says: "such that, so that: used to express purpose or result: power such that it was effortless" if the subordinate clause following "s...
