Question

It is proper to say "I need to choose between apples and oranges"

anonymous · Answer

You can think about the logical relations given by and or, or.
And is both or is one or the other

anonymous · Answer

"or" is the proper way

anonymous · Answer

Defiantly "Or" since it's asking you to choose between two subjects, being you can go with this or you can go with that.

dang it!

Personally, I would say, "I need to choose either apples or oranges."
Once the word between was used, 'and' became the proper conjunction.

anonymous · Answer

Well the correct answer turned out to be 'and'/ Thanks for your help eveyone

anonymous · Answer

I think that if you use the word 'between' it is always 'and'
