The word "or", when used in mathematics, usually means the the relation \(A \vee B\), with the following truth table:
| \(A\) | \(B\) | \(A \vee B\) |
|---|---|---|
| T | T | T |
| T | F | T |
| F | T | T |
| F | F | F |
But in English, "or" can mean a few different things, depending on context, including \(\mathrm{XOR}\). The meanings, or even validity, of "yes" and "no" in response to a question using "or" also depend on context.
