Actually in math "and" is "times" and "or" is "plus".
In my school days (40+ yrs ago), "and" was +, "times" was x, and "or", being very indefinite, belonged not to mathemathics, but to philosophy (and to history, and to daily budgeting <g>)
The quote 'Money is the root of all evil' is incorrect, if that helps.
The actual quote says that 'the love of money is the root of all evil'
I don't know, I always heard the version without "love".
Very few of us read The "right stuff" at all, much less read it carefully these days; we're in too much of a hurry... I myself knew the original quote, but didn't think to question the one supplied, as that's the one in "common circulation"
