And, as the case may be, or: Difference between revisions

Now firstly, this doesn’t make grammatical sense, and for a reason that gives away the [[paradox|paradoxical black hole]] at the heart of the [[and/or]] galaxy. It should actually be “and ''or'', as the case may be, or”. But you can’t have that first “or”, because you’re not ready for an or until you’ve had the as the case may be. So should it be “and/or, as the case may be, or”? But alas! The very [[slash]] we were at pains to eliminate is back! So how about, “[[and]] [[or]], [[as the case may be]], [[or]], [[as the case may be]], [[or]]”. But no! we now have a rogue un-case-may-be’d [[or]] again! We find ourselves staring deep into an abyss, and the abyss insolently stares back.<ref>“Und wenn du lange in einen Abgrund blickst, blickt der Abgrund auch in dich hinein” - Nietzsche.</ref>
