4th manhattan sc page 161 idiom 'or'

Right

I do NOT want water OR milk

SUSPECT:

I do NOT want waterAND milk. (implies the combination)


Does this means that 'or' means 'and', and 'and' means 'or' in a negative sentence?


Thx

if you want to get into the Boolean logic of the sentence, look up DeMorgan's Laws. i think you may be worried about something that is ultimately of no consequence though..
