Ramble, Part 54: "Or...?"

In the last Ramble, I mentioned the distinction between exclusive "or" ("x or y, but not both") and inclusive "or" ("x and/or y"). This time, I'm going to discuss why mathematicians prefer the latter to the former; in the next Ramble, I'll look at the question from a linguistic point of view.
