Baal, can you please explain this for me: If I say: "Take the Orange OR the Apple", then I mean take one or the other or Both.
This does not make sense to me. Check this:
Sanitarium': Baal: Take the Orange OR the Apple (this means I want you to take either one OR the other; NOT both)
Sanitarium:Baal: Take One Apple AND Another Apple (this means I want you to take both with no condition)
Sanitarium:: Baal: Take One Apple AND Two Apples; provided you can eat them all (this means, provided you can eat all the apples, I want you to take one and then after that, another two; totalling three apples)
Sanitarium:: Baal: Take One Apple OR Two Apples, provided you can eat them all (this means I want you to take one apple, but you can take two apples (total) provided you can eat both of them.)
My point is, I don't understand how your statement above means I want you to take BOTH; you would need to add a condition in order for your analogy to work.
What do you think? Sanitarium 22:35, 13 May 2007 (PDT)
