changing "and/or" to "and/@/or" is bad (one you
changed recently.) Splitting such short strings

the "/or" at the start of a new line renders
the text less readable, not more.
Uh what? This places "and/" at the end of the line, and "or" at
the
beginning of the next line.
Yes.
And that is not really a significant
impediment to reading.
No, but it is less clear. Constructs like
"and/or" tend to be comprehended as single
concepts. If they are split understanding
is slightly, granted not significantly,
impeded.
Also the break is not really a significant
improvement to layout. So why change it?
