Question about http://www.equipped.org/onyrown.htm

There is a list item that reads:

"Leatherman Super Tool or Victorinox SwissTool and Leatherman Micra may be substituted for the Leatherman Wave."

Does this mean that either a Leatherman Super Tool and a Leatherman Micra, as a two-item group, or the Victorinox SwissTool and a Leatherman Micra, as another two-item group, may be substituted for the Wave?

Or does this mean that EITHER the Leatherman Super Tool, as one item, OR Victorinox SwissTool and a Leatherman Micra , as two items, may be substituted for the Wave?

The way the sentence reads, it could go either way. As an English major and multitool nut, I have to know. Grin.

O.K. college boy, as a self avowed multi tool nut the issue is moot, now isn't it? <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> ( public speaking and debate 101) As to semantics, I believe Doug means the two tools combined are a complete substitute. Then again , I may be wrong. The emails exchanged to proofread upcoming reviews leads to Webster, old writing style texts and Joyceian stream of unconsciousness <img src="images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Excellent! Thank you.

Sounds like a job for Strunk and White! <img src="images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
