AB
If A then B, , Audio A > B, same as A horseshoe B
A if B, Audio B > A, same as B horseshoe A
A only if B, Audio A > B, same as A horseshoe B
A is a sufficient condition for B, Audio A > B, same as A horseshoe B
A is a necessary condition for B, Audio B > A, same as B horseshoe A
A unless B, Audio A v B, or equivalently (not A horseshoe B)
B only if A, Audio B > A, same as B horseshoe A
B if and only if A, Audio B = A, same as A triplebar B
A is a necessary and a sufficient condition for B, Audio A = B, same as A triplebar B, or equivalently (A > B) & (B > A)
A is a necessary and a sufficient condition for B, Audio (A > B) & (B > A), or equivalently A = B, same as A triplebar B
both A and B, Audio A & B, same as A dot B
not both A and B, Audio - (A & B), same as curl/tilde (A dot B), or DeMorgan equivalently (- A v - B)
either A or B, Audio A v B
not either A or B, Audio - (A v B), or DeMorgan equivalently (- A & - B)
neither A nor B, Audio - A & - B, or DeMorgan equivalently - (A v B)
not neither A nor not B, Audio - (- A & - - B), or equivalently (A v - B)
either not A or not B, Audio (- A v - B), or equivalently - (A & B)
not either A or not B, Audio - (A v - B), or equivalently (- A & B)
If A, then if not B then C, Audio A > (- B > C)
If if A then not B, then C, Audio (A > - B) > C
