After reading through some of the logical connectives section of the CLL again I'm wondering... what is the best way to ask "to drink, do you want iced tea, lemonade, water, coffee, soda, or orange juice?" without having to have 6^10 logical connectives or whatever absurd construct it is. Or it could get even more insane if the format of the question is asking for exactly two items from the list (in the case of, would your two kids like <list>).
I'm all for being perfectly logical and saying exactly what I mean to say, but is there some kind of shortcut in cases where I don't want to do back flips to ask a simple question?
ba ki'e mi'e pafcribe (is that a legitimate way to say "thanks in advance"?)
