  1. Actually, if I say 'x or y' without context, it's ambiguous. 'either x or y' is xor and 'x and/or y' is 'or'

  2. ​ @bethhentges  a) Why wouldn't "either x or y" be sufficient? b) "However, we often do say “or” when we mean “xor.”" Your example question isn't meant to be taken literally; even if you interpret the or as xor, you still don't get the intended meaning (see 'is it a boy or a girl?')

  3. Isn't there already a 'such that' symbol?

  4. If you want to convey xor, it's better to say either... or... imo. 'or' is ambiguous

  5.  @thorbjrnhellehaven5766  May you please elaborate on what you mean by 'messy'?

  6.  @thorbjrnhellehaven5766  Most would say the latter

  7. Your example sentence can only mean the latter. The former would be "Someone is loved by everyone". A similar one would be "everyone is not evil". It can only mean that no one is evil, yet as !d!0t$ misuse it to mean "not everyone is evil", it leaves the listener wondering if the speaker truly meant what was said, or if they meant the latter. However, I haven't seen any !d!0t$ misusing your example sentence... ...yet
