The debate on whether "and/or" is correct or not refuses to die down. It was pleasing to see an entry on 'and/or" in the Chicago Manual of Style FAQ site (Look at the March Q&A section).
In the March Q&A, CMOS says, "...and/or “can often be replaced by and or or with no loss in meaning." For multiple choices, CMOS says use or . . . or both .
Despite knowing this, we make mistakes, right?
