Since when does C++ have "or" and "and"? C++ uses || and &&, just like C and
Java and C# and... I'm sure that there's a language somewhere whch uses "or"
and "and," but I've never used one that did.
And I'm actually mildly shocked that anyone (at least any programmer) would
think that "or" and "and" were more readable. The fact that operators aren't
words is a _major_ boon to code readibility.
