Grammar
And/or
She corrects the mistakes in her students' test and homework.
She corrects the mistakes in her students' test or homework.
Are both of those sentences acceptable? Can you help me recognise the difference between "and" and "or" in this case?
Thank you!

Hi When you have and here it implies she corrects the mistakes in both. I would not use 'or' in this context as it is meaningless.

Agreed with vsuresh 'or' is meaningless in this concept. Also, it should be 'tests and homework'. She does not correct one test.
