Re: Weird words
I worked on control system standards for a large food manufacturer. One of
the programmers had written a paragraph that used the word OR as a verb, as
in "OR the two sections of the program." He insisted that he couldn't think
of any better way to say it. He told me he often used AND as a verb, too.
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. That's what you do with two logical values. You OR them, you AND them, or you XOR them. Where's the beef?
