-- * and reurns false if the first argument is false, and the second otherwise, so (number==1) and singular returns singular if its 1, returns false if it is only 1 | |||
-- * or returns the first argument if it is not false, and the second argument if the first is false | |||
-- * so, if number is 1, and evaluates (true and singular) returning (singular); or evaluates (singular or plural), finds singular non-false, and returns singular | |||
-- * but, if number is not 1, and evaluates (false and singular) returning (false); or evaluates (false or plural), and is forced to return plural | |||
