I’m already so done with this course.

My textbook:

p: “The weather is bad.”

Exercise:

Represent “the weather is good” using logical symbols.

Me: How am I supposed to answer that? You didn’t give me a letter for that. I guess I’ll use q?

Expected answer: ~p

    The weather is good or it is not good. The weather is bad or it is not bad.

    That’s exactly what I said, is it not?

    Also,

    This isn’t English class - rules will be a little different.

    Obviously. In English, “opposite” means antonyms. Good would be the opposite of bad, as would splendid, terrific, and amazing.

    But logical opposites work on set theory. The opposite of A is !A, not Z.
