    I agree. It’s totally simple and people overcomplicate.

    BTW one nice thing about German is, that you can even use the same logic for Boolean operators: The AND operator ∧ is called UND being the shorter word (when you put the name at the top). The OR operator ∨ is called ODER being the longer word.

    You can use the same logic in English if you Place AND/OR at the bottom instead 😁

      I always remember those as “knife” and “cup”, but you have to know that I use my cups the wrong way around.
      When you have two things AB on a table and you come in with a knife or cup (NB: upside down) from above, the knife will separate them “A or B” while the cup will catch them together like a pair of angry wasps “A and B”.
