The "and/or" thing actually sort of makes sense if you take "or" to mean "xor", since (A XOR B) OR (A AND B) equals (A OR B)

So, slash is really 'or'?

Oh, my head.

    english   logic
    -------   -----
    and       AND
    or        XOR
    /         OR
Actually, since (A XOR B) and (A AND B) are mutually exclusive, (A XOR B) XOR (A AND B) also equals (A OR B), so "/" could be "XOR" too.
