Grammar
Use of and/or
Of the following sentences, which are grammatically correct or incorrect?
1) He might have gone to the store or he might not have gone to the store.
2) He might have gone to the store and he might not have gone to the store.
Is it acceptable to use either "and" or "or?" I realize that there are more efficient ways of getting the same point across, but I'm just wondering if both of these sentences are grammatically correct or incorrect.

Both are used and are correct. It's a bit stylized - could be taken as "smartalecky" in some situations.
