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.”

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

I hate it it makes sense but i hate it

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')
