Happy Halloween /prog/.

Have an unscientific and ultimately destructive day.

Typically, "or" is exclusive in natural language only in contexts where it would also be sensible to use the word "either." For example, if a waiter asks me if I would like cream or sugar, I am surely permitted to request both. Natural languages are ambiguous, and an intrinsic part of programming is to "fix" that ambiguity. (At least, of course, until someone constructs a perfect AI that is capable of discerning these sorts of things.)

Your narrow-minded comment only betrays inexperience, and you come off sounding very dull and boring by trying to "teach" us how language works. I'm not sure if you're trying to sound superior in some way by degrading others with suggestions that they are somehow less than human, but it's not working.
