This is quality.

Also, I love answering "inclusive Or" questions like it's a condition in a program, so many eyerolls.
So few people ever use Xor.

I kinda wish xor (pronounced "zor"?) would enter the common English lexicon. It'd be so useful to just have different words for inclusive or vs exclusive or.

I’ve always heard and said it as “ex-or.”

[–] [email protected] 27 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Ex-or makes much more sense considering it stands for EXclusive OR.

I hate it it makes sense but i hate it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

It does make sense, but I feel like it's severely lacking in the mouth feel department.

In my language you just can say ksor (ks sounds like 'x', but without 'e')

Yes but how do we pronounce xenon in your language?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Ksenon. (I need to correct myself for the comparison, see above)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Usually you would only answer the first part if it's true, so if you're both you would just say true after they said male. If you're running inefficiently then ig you can wait until they say the full question.

Oh trust me, I'm anything but optimized or efficient.
