Guess what happens. --- End quote --- Yea, it's like power switches, red is off and green is on. The safe state, green should be off. |

Does green mean locked or unlocked? If green, what if unlocked is undesirable, does that mean green=bad? |

IMO, "Fish and chips and salad or vegetables" translates to "Fish and chips" AND ("salad" OR "vegetables"), i.e. main AND (side OR side). "Fish and chips" is a dish by itself, "and" in the middle is not logical operation - it should be interpreted as a frase from 3 words. |
| Nominal Animal:
"Fish and chips, and salad or vegetables" would be unambiguous, I believe. Poor comma, so neglected. |
