Meaning and context

Logical or ∨ is usually inclusive: either proposition can be true, and both can be true. An exclusive choice needs a different convention.

How to use it

If a choice must be exclusive, say so explicitly rather than assuming that readers will interpret ∨ as “one but not both.”

Examples

Inclusive condition

P ∨ Q: the note is tagged or the note is saved.

Either condition, or both, satisfies this example.

False case

If P is false and Q is false, P ∨ Q is false.

Neither input supplies a true proposition.
