When you use and, it gives an implication that a correction may be coming. For example, He hasn't got glasses and freckles, he's got acne and glasses, which is why or is preferred since it connotes more a mere description, at least in my dialect. | |

| Jan 29, 2017 at 15:51 | comment | added | Curtis White | In your examples, the first is okay with and, but the others should use or. | |
| Jan 29, 2017 at 15:50 | comment | added | user46036 | What about my examples? Are they correct, natural? | |
