This question is derived from this one.
Assume "not including" and "including" have two mutually exclusive meanings. It is impossible "not including" and "including" at the same time.
The Oxford dict gives this example of except.
They work every day except Sunday
In the form of set (math), we have 2 sets in there
- on set_1 = {Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday} they work
- on set_2 = {Sunday} they don't work
set_1 is not including Sunday, this is what "except" does mean, "other than" has the same meaning. Is my understanding right?
