No, because that would imply that you have both, while people often have one or the other...

but then the answer to the poll would have to be either a cat or a dog. not yes or no.

the or question is true (yes) if either condition is true. the and question is true only if both conditions are true. thus D or C is true if either D or C is true (you own a dog or cat or both) D and C is only true if both are true (you own a dog and a cat) the original question is worded fine.

looking too deep into something silly. 

EDIT: Misread the posts above mine.... thought someone was asking if they'd answer "Yes" if they owned both.

1. Why is this in System Wars?

2. Owning a cat and dog is mutually exclusive. You can own a cat OR a dog, OR neither, OR both.

Do you own either a cat or a dog? Yes, I own a dog, but not a cat. PS: ur dum.

Or = One or the other
And = Encompasses all mentioned.

You cannot own a dog and a cat, AND have no dog or cat.

No, since yes can mean "yes I have a cat" or "yes I have a dog" or "Yes I have both", no in the case simply means you have neither.

The question is worded poorly, but basically. You answer Yes, if you have something fuzzy running around your house, and you answer no if cats and dogs make you break out in hives.

As much as you're thinking this could be a "did you stop beating your wife" type of question, it is not. Answering "no" is fine.

:| Why because he doesn't understand very well english. You know man, There are other languages out there excpect english, and other countries out there also that don't use english as the official language. Maybe english for that guy ain't his mother tongue. Anyways, I would like to see you understand chinese or japanese, german or whatever language you don't know or only know a liltle. Anyways it is indeed funny the way he understands the "question" but from there on saying that he should be emarassed of not knowing english very well isn't right.

While it baffles me that the TC just can't understand why his post is so funny, perhaps it would have helped if the question was "Do you own any cats or dogs?"

EDIT: Misread the posts above mine.... thought someone was asking if they'd answer "Yes" if they owned both.



No it's worded fine. The accepted truth functionality of 'Or' is generally accepted as being inclusive, unless specified otherwise. So basically.
C v D ( v is the symbol for or in logic.)
T t T (It's true if cat and dog are both true.)
T t F (It's true if cat is true and dog is false.)
F t T (It's true if cat is false and dog is true.)
F f F (It's not true if cat is false and dog is false.)

IE you should only answer no if you have neither a cat nor a dog.

And your suggesting the exclusive use of or, instead of the inclusive use. Exclusive or is most commonly denoted by "Either or but not both." IE the phrasing would have to be Do you have a cat or a dog, but not both.
