 * clocked out, but headword needs a noun sense. Would translations apply to the noun sense? DCDuring TALK 19:56, 14 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Only occasion in which I might imagine using "inclusive or" (or its Finnish equivalent, rather) as conjunction is when reading out a logical formula in the same way as one reads out a mathematical formula (I think we have entries of the expressions used in reading out mathematical formulae). It may be hard to find a permanently archived quotation of this baby, though. Whether it merits an entry, I leave to others to decide. --Hekaheka 04:57, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
 * One way to handle this would be to write a usage note similar to that in the entry exclusive or. --Hekaheka 05:38, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
 * That seems right. I've added the noun. It is really the PoS that bothers me. I can imagine that in some geekspeak dialect this might be understood even in speech, but, in the absence of evidence, the conjunction should be deleted. DCDuring TALK 12:28, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
